    You know who’s to blame for Trump? Trump voters.

    What we’re seeing here is multiple layers of cowardice. Too cowardly to vote for what you actually believe in, and then too cowardly to go engage with actual Trump voters, so instead you hang around here trying to bully progressives into toeing the party line of a party that doesn’t represent them.

    Incidentally,

    But whatever helps you sleep at night.

    I’ve started noticing a pattern with these “don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos” posts, where they almost always finish with a stock guilt-trip phrase like this, or “I hope you’re happy” or similar, and not just on Lemmy. And I don’t mean every now and then, I mean like, I see these posts formatted the same way regularly, often in threads that are barely relevant to it. Basically, I’m pretty sure that there’s a bot farm posting these messages on behalf of someone trying to maintain the two-party system.

      Exactly. At this point, anyone still bitching about anti-genocide voters in the 2024 election should be assumed to be a conservative or Russian bot.

        I’m not sure it necessarily stands to reason that they’d be a conservative or Russian specifically, unless they ran the numbers and concluded that all this “I hope you’re happy with what you did, you Nazi” vitriol would turn people away from the Democratic Party far more than it would whip them into line.
