The general rule for "BestOfLemmy" is to be an appropriate place for a Lemmy beginner to get a feel of Lemmy in general. Yall are somewhat forgiven for the heated topic, but its not a complete pass. Try to keep the perspective of "newbies to Lemmy are stopping by here first". And think about how you'd like to present yourself to them.

This is what you want new people to see? "vote for my candidate or you hate America"? Propaganda bullshit? I'm sure I'll write in a candidates name as I do every four years as, once again, neither major party is worthy of my vote, but the arrogance of people like you makes me want to vote for Trump out of spite.

Voting for fascism out of spite lmao

That’s exactly what they do. One in ten Bernie Bros voted for Trump in 2016.

That should tell you all you need to know.

News flash bud:

You don’t get to just show your ass and then expect people to kiss it. That’s not how it works. You’re not entitled to anyone’s respect when you refuse to offer it yourself. We all saw you all whine and cry in 2016 and again in 2020. You’re no different now.

So no, you don’t get the respect you demand just because you can stomp your feel loud enough.

Theres a reason no one takes any of you seriously,

You taught them not to.
