    I don’t particularly enjoy the downvotes people get on here for dissenting opinions. I liked the old school Reddit mentality of “if it adds to the discussion”.

    Any dissent = black and white judgement sometimes.

    I was trying to say the US Dems aren’t the same as the Republicans. I did state I didn’t like them either and listed something Biden did that’s good. Someone accused me of defending genocide and a plethora of other things afterwards.

      From what I can tell, at least in this specific instance, aubertlone has only received downvotes for comments they made that were directly attacking or insulting those with differing opinions from themselves. I believe their initial comment before the edit did add positively to the discussion.

      I can’t speak to the second part of your comment, but I’m sorry to hear that you received that response to your opinions.

      Oh – yeah, anything but advocating for opposing democrats at all costs is “defending genocide” to a large population of lemmy. It’s pathetic.
