as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

    update: thanks for the downvotes, its a good reminder of why i don’t participate in the political communities here.

    Because you’ve come out with unfounded accusations of a possibility of a war which won’t happen for many years, if ever.

    They aren’t meeting because they are going to war.

    If you vote for Trump, you are voting for a criminal, a rapist, a creep, and I will assume you are the same.

      Must be difficult to live in a country where you think 49% of the people there are so dangerous.

      You’re applying peer pressure, you’re trying to signal purity, but it’s not a convincing argument. It just means I’m less likely to listen to your following argument after you’ve said terrible things about me.

        At least 49%. I’d say that about 25% near the center are OK, but 75% of the people outside that center are batshit crazy on some important issue or another.

        It’s extraordinarily difficult thinking that a majority of the people are an honest, open conversation away from making a scene.

          On both sides, probably.

            Most of the right, and a good chunk of the left.

            80% of lawyers, 90% of politicians, 98% of salespeople.
