Yup, I was saying the same thing pre election in a couple of my wonderful discussions with those ~~bots~~ "people" such as anticolonialist (whos been silent for months now a day after the election LMAO)
I see it all the time on platforms that provide statistics, a comment or post can easily have thousands upon thousands of views but like 2 likes and maybe a reply. It's those thousands that are really easily influenced and they don't even bother to like/dislike something let alone answer surveys and polls and are incredibly likely to just leave that mail in ballot on the kitchen counter so it's impossible to know how many there were that could have been potentially influenced
The pro-Palestine folks haven't been quiet. They just get downvoted below visibility by Blue MAGA folks who like to pretend that all the pro-Palestine folk were Russian bots.
Nah, plenty of us were pro-palestine enough to vote for the one of two candidates who didn't want to entirely destroy Gaza. Good thing single issue voters got what they wanted though, right? Right??
I would love it if the bLuEmAgA crowd would sit down for an hour and actually understand electoral politics and how abstaining/voting 3rd party is objectively worse than voting strategically. But some people's morals in the immediate choice are more important than their long term morals, so here we are.
