The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.

    Yeah Lemmy has a lot of “power user” posters who flood the site with stuff that supports certain narratives, upvote each others posts consistently, reply to a lot of comments with copy pasted answers, and all downvote views which don’t match their agenda.

    It’s hard to tell whether it’s coordinated astro turfing, or if it’s just the kind of platform that attracts certain viewpoints and people who have way too much time on their hands. It makes it quite pointless to try and engage in most political threads because it’s just exhausting.

      Yeah I know there has been a lot of tankie traffic in the past but my instance blocked them. That crowd, in general, is fucking exhausting. This batch of “don’t vote for Biden” feels like something different. More like a good ol’ bot farm trying to swing the vote. Idk. But it may also just be like you said, where the site attracts certain views.
