    One thing I love about being on this instance is I’m blissfully unaware because downvotes are disabled. This is what I see.

    American Democrats think anyone who criticizes their actions – such as opening more concentration camps, continuing Trump’s wall (yes, that wall), arming genocidal states, and taking power away from the working class – anyone who criticizes these things MUST be a right-wing shill.

    I’m not joking. That’s really what they think. I get it all the time. Hence the downvotes, and hence the unfounded claims about OP.

      Ahh…

      So satisfying, on the other hand, to see posts reach +400 without dissent…

      Everyone liked that!

      It also gives a good town hall kind of feel, like I get a sense of how many people are in the room and how many are shaking their heads.
