I don’t feel that the lemmy.world hivemind is overly enthusiastic about establishment Democrats. Like I said, my own negative reaction comes a lot more from the perception that it’s some kind of deliberately slanted attempt at influence, with a third of your feed being anti-Democrat in some way and digging up memes from years ago to help make the point. Has nothing to do with me not liking your viewpoint or saying you can’t post something against Biden. But there’s a big difference between posting “Yo I think Biden like every other US president is a war criminal enabler,” versus posting 2-3 stories a day about how he’s behind among Latinos in Nevada, or remember when Nancy Pelosi did a stupid thing.
Let me ask this, what’s your preferred outcome in the presidential election this year?
We already all know the GOP and Trump are awful and others post the anti-Trump articles in greater numbers than my posts. No use in me adding to those.

Full disclosure, I’m not a Democrat or Republican. I’m registered No Party Preference in California. My views are actually Left (not what they consider Democrats to be) to Far Left. I hate our two-party system and having to always vote for the lesser of two evils. My preferred outcome, honestly, would be for Biden to be replaced by a real progressive but that won’t happen. I would hope, begrudgingly, that Biden wins but it’s not looking good in multiple demographics. Running on “but Trump” worked in 2020 but I don’t think it’s going to work as well as it did for 2024.

This, I all 1,000% agree with, and I think I’m pretty much on the same page as you. I’m just having trouble seeing how posting memes about “Democrats bad” and a constant stream of Biden vs. Trump stories ties in with that. If you were talking up more lefty Democrats or posting news about specific critiques of Biden that would be fine.
Think of it like if there was an actually-leftist candidate in the race, and you were looking at someone who posted several times a day about how he was polling behind Biden and critiques of stuff he did from 5 years ago. But then they said, oh yeah I’m a leftist, I’m just posting news dude, I just think he’s not looking good. That’d be irritating. Right?

This is a fuckin’ bonkers thing to say. There’s a for-real fascist in the race with a for-real chance of winning. The house is on fire. And you’re running around saying how one of the firefighters is problematic. Okay, yeah, maybe. We still need to put out the fire.
Which Democrats are actually Leftist and not just centrist or Republican-lite? Bernie? AOC? We tried and the Dem party/oligarchy shut that down real quick.
Trump and the GOP is the enemy. Biden and the Democrats, to me, are also the enemy to the people because they want the status quo to continue. “Nothing will fundamentally change.” I feel we’re going to get fascism either way. One is accelerated and the other is a slow death march.
You are, as well, free to post whatever you like.

Therrre it is
You only think that because you haven’t actually lived under fascism.
I hope like hell Trump doesn’t win, and have a chance to prove to you how absolutely utterly mistaken you are in this.
