I mean, he's kinda right though. Dems are known for suppressing free speech. Look at lemmy, it's 99.9% blue and you once say something like "Trump gud, illegal immigrant Kamala bad" and instead of a factual argument with a birth certificate attached, you just get a ban.
Dems want an oppressive regimen where everyone who disagrees with them is silenced. So, I understand why he's worried.
And if this does happen, you'll see lemmy cheer. Lemmy values free speech and independent opinion only when it aligns with their.
Looking through your post history, you HATE Lemmy. Why are you even here? Is this another u/spez account?
People hated reddit but still rode the train.
I thought we were building a better reddit here. But turned out we're building an echo chamber where snowflakes can whine to each other all day long. Not sure what this really achieves as 99.9% of them always agree with each other.
Political activism is only valid if it actually reaches someone who disagrees, and when done in a way that it might convince the other party to at least consider your points.
Lemmy fundamentally fails at both simultaneously. Kinda explains why US politics is such a shitshow.
