Man.. Yall remember when lemmy was being used as a controlled opposition narrational echo chamber for this failure of a candidate?

When posting anything showing that Harris was making bad decisions would result in bans?

Fucking amazing how those power posters disappeared like farts in the wind.

Yep! When I used my world account I would constantly see users like FlyingSquid, PugJesus, a few admins, etc. post propaganda and dog pile any dissenters.

The few times I posted long comments with sufficient data as a backup, I was called a Russia shill, tankie, or a secret MAGA plant.

Now the few stragglers remaining still try to white wash their fuck ups and claim they're leftists and whatnot. All of them just became the embodiment of Blue MAGA

FlyingSquid was/ is one of the worst. They would regularly flame out, accuse some one of antisemitism (literally, like almost every time), then ban the counter party. Its why c/PoliticalMemes and c/World are such insufferable echo chambers.

FlyingSquid and PugJesus posted non stop slop about the campaign constantly, it almost felt like reddit again.

Never got banned from world, but man did I spend a solid day going around to all of these shill posters saying "I told you so" after calling out dems losing easily a year in advance.
