        Sometimes I'm not sure what I've gotten into.

        edit: for instance, I have no idea what this person's issue is, if this is a instance of leftists:

          This post is mostly enjoying the absurdity of Trump and Biden polling neck and neck. I'd say it's fair to say that people here don't think fundamental change can happen through elections, or that America is in any meaningful way a democracy at all.

          There was a big thread recently by a person asking about Hexbear's genuine opinion on Trump and the consensus was that while he's very funny, he should probably be executed. But also every American president is a war criminal. A few people think that him getting elected might hasten the decline of the American empire, and so be good for the world in the long term

          How so?

          We're a non-sectarian socialist space, so communists and anarachists (i think mostly Marxisr-Leninists). Theres some variation because of that, but broad strokes we have agreement here.

              You might be thinking of lemmygrad.ml, which is a Marxist-Leninist instance, with which we are federated. We're majority ML, but are a non-secretarian leftist space, with much more shitposting and many endearing weirdos.

                Until this moment I thought "lemmygrad" was just a nickname for lemmy.ml. See? Just trying to work out what the hell is going on in the fediverse.

                The funny part of this whole exchange is that my original reply intended to mean "good luck getting Bernie elected" to whoever did that poll, which seems to be in line with the collective opinion, yet somehow we got here.

                  We get a lot of people wandering in here looking for an argument and we like to argue, often extremely aggressively. But we're also cool if other people are cool. Lurk around and see what the vibe is
