Well I voted for a 3rd party candidate in the UK election, how slow American elections are is rather amusing to me. You were campaigning this time last year and the new government hasn't yet taken power. Meanwhile ours was all done in a few weeks.

You guys go through two or three Prime Ministers in the time it takes for the transition!
Only the bad ones. We have had a lot of those recently.
That's not how it used to be, and that's so far only 1 incompetent party. (We'll see how the other party fares, especially under Elons gaze)
Can we stop letting the same 4 people make these posts to just get the dopamine kicks from starting the arguments over all over again?
It's pointless grandstanding to get a fight started and that is basically it and it's the same people every time. People should just be blocking these accounts cause if anyone seems like permanently online trolls or shills it's these accounts making these exact posts like clockwork every single week.
It's lazy and the mods seem to let it happen cause they get a kick from the banning they can dish out.
can we stop trying to silence the opinions of users even when we disagree with them? I'm tired of hearing the old rhetoric that drones on and on about about pointless grandstanding when the argument doesn't fit into the narrative that certain groups are pushing on here.
your comment exemplifies the duality of Lemmy showing that it doesn't matter what side you're on, that silencing users you disagree with can be agreed upon by both sides.
it's absurd that anyone thinks that this kind of open request for an oppressive call to action is acceptable.
