    I was more so referring to the general downvotes of basic facts about the administration. It makes the dems look like the rabid cult followers of trump and fox news.

    Lemmy, in general, is cultishly anti-establishment-Democrat more than pro. They rightly got very up in arms about Biden’s recent support for Israel, for example, almost unanimously.

    We’re talking to one another under the fourth article some guy posted in 24 hours re-emphasizing that Biden forgot something or misspoke in some minor way, though. “A nightmare.” “His most potent political weakness.” Et cetera. Lemmy’s hivemind, for all its flaws, I think is actually pretty on point about identifying this type of clickbaity journalistic malpractice and downvoting it. Saying bias is clearly the reason they must be doing it, when if you take a step back and analyze for the claimed bias, it’s actually in the opposite direction, is… I feel like I’m repeating myself… another standard conservative propaganda trope.

    Can’t wait for your next wall of text.
