You have no idea the effect your words have on a globally accessible service. Your state was fine. This time. But your whining about bLuE mAgA and not voting or voting for Jill Stein could have been seen by anyone. Not even just here, I've seen that blue maga crap on TikTok ffs, so you can't even say "well, it's not like it was seen by enough people that mattered".
The size and reach of Lemmy is nothing like what you are supposing here.
Mainstream media dominates the political discussion amongst the electorate. Viewing Lemmy comments as anything close to being electorally influential or as mainstream is going to leave you with some warped perspectives I think.
I voted PSL actually, and I don't even use tiktok.
That you're running into the same opinions on there too indicates that this is a broader sentiment and that if younger people are complaining about blue maga it could be a behavior/performance issue from Democrats rather than regarding propagandists on a niche forum poisoning everyones minds.
I doubt that my many international readers had any impact on the election.
