I made a comment on the lemmy.ml world news comm saying it would be funny if the DNC had Bernie and Hillary debate for the candidacy (as a Biden replacement). It was downvoted (later upvoted, probably by left-wing .ml users) with .worlders leaving comments like "We need more radical (as in Bernie or AOC) candidates, or no to Hillary but yes to Bernie. The funny part comes in where a shitjustworks user comes in saying " It's her turn". At first I thought this was ironic (as it should be) so I sent this emoji (🤣). They downvoted my comment (the only interaction with that comment so it was most likely them). They UNIRONICALLY said it was her turn. I'm way too used to Hexbear and the Lemmygrad/.ml users that are willing to interact on it, I was not ready for the pure liberalism and reddit vibes that awaited me on .ml (not even .world).
TL;DR, someone on .ml said "it's her turn" unironically, it's funny if not a bit strange, and every time I see someone coment or post about "saving american democracy" all I can think of (not say, I don't want to get banned) is Death to Amerikkka.
liberals are mind confuzzling but they're also not. There's this one FOSS dev whose mastodon I skim through (for updates on projects he's leading) and today he's just boosting posts like "Trump was able to lie and not get fact-checked and Biden is just old" and "save American democracy" and I always thought it was weird until he made a post describing how he as a
was born and raised in Alabama and was taught that there are heroes and villains and the villains want to take democracy away and the heroes (usually msm approved black radicals like Rosa Parks and MLK) gave us democracy.
He's surrounded by people with
in their usernames so I shouldn't be surprised. It sucks because their USian liberal worldview permeates through everything and it always feels like you're being talked down to.
