I wasn't planning to post anything today. I dislike working and writing on weekends in general, but this was too important to ignore. You have to see this Zohran Mamdani campaign ad that came out this morning:
It's an entire political ad, from a major Democratic politician, that is exclusively
Inb4 all the Liberals yap about how he’ll never win and how the better thing to do is to throw trans people under a bus to appeal to some nonexistent ‘moderate’ voter demographic…
it’s actually a pretty small number of people who believe such things with genuine conviction, but there are a lot of influence and astroturfing campaigns that tend to boost those views on other platforms. Lemmy is frankly too small and fringe to get targeted by such efforts, and without that pressure, such opinions tend to get downed out.

Havent seen those here much luckily
“All the liberals” aren’t of that mind. That appeasement block is super disappointing but I’d guess around 20% of them.
Where are all those people on lemy? because I only ever see idiots like that in Congress.
