Because you don’t offer any solutions. Saying “Democrats bad” does absolutely nothing to further the conversation or help steer them in the right direction. If something is dire enough to require all these “warnings” then it should be paired with actions people can take to improve the situation. It is not difficult to say “Democrats bad, Republicans are worse, here’s how we fix it”. If you don’t feel those extra steps are necessary I would argue your concern isn’t very genuine.
Protip, not talking about the problems is also not a solution. Seems you just like your silence. Half the articles posted on lemmy have no solutions presented, yet we don’t find people saying things like this on those. I wonder why.
Also on the face of it its a ridiculous asertation. Should people only post articles about problems they themselves have solutions for? Because that sounds wholly stupid.
Oh I’m not saying every article/comment needs to be about solutions at all. That would be ridiculous and wholly stupid, I agree. But someone posting negative articles and comments about the Democrats all day long and acting like theyre doing it out of concern is absurd (so is the “you guys take all the positive ones so that’s all that’s left over” thing). It’s doing nothing but creating more apathy and depressing engagement. It’s a very clear pattern with obvious results so I don’t see how it isn’t a conscious effort.
