      You’re not being downvoted because you’re wrong.
      You’re being downvoted because you’re acting like an asshole.

      Edit: To clarify, a lot of people are unaware of just how useless the corporate neoliberal party is. Being hostile about it doesn’t support your position. It just pisses off everyone else.

          Is it really necessary here, though? I understand Twitter or Reddit where the loudest jackass in the room gets the platform above the sea of propaganda and trash. But for Lemmy, you don’t need to be loud to stand out, and most of us are already progressive and open to considering that politicians on both sides have intentionally failed society for their own benefits.
