I'm saying that lemmy has a lot of people who make excuses for democrats no matter what they do, as a response to some preposterous bullshit about democrats never appointing an FBI chair. Misinformation that no one seems to have much of a problem with and that has like 80 upvotes despite being an outright lie.
And we're arguing against your thesis. Most all Lemmy communities are, at the very least, highly sympathetic towards leftists and somewhat hostile towards neoliberals.
And repeatedly ignoring the glaring example of someone making shit up to excuse the clinton administration's negligence about clinton's buddy epstein.
There's always someone on lemmy to make excuses for the worst shit democrats do. Always.
I've never commented on that person playing into and broadcasting obvious dem\neolib propaganda but I agree with you that they're either deeply mistaken or, worse, lying.
Of course there is. There's people on Lemmy making excuses for literal fucking Nazi's. What's your point? That Lemmy contains manifold people\opinions? Oh no....
Congratulations on admitting that their excuse exists at all and wasn't factually correct. After significant prompting.
That it happens too often and in favor of too much reprehensible shit.
