Voters: Free Luigi, eat the rich
Elected officials: πββοΈ
Exactly.
Eventually something minor cannot be done, we want democrat politicians to stop cooperating with Republicans... but no, they just roll to expose their belly and vote in the budget bill.
Luigi doesn't poll very well either. His highest demographic is on par with Trump's general approval.
where are you seeing luigi mangione polling numbers? who is conducting these polls?
people are too afraid of impending fascism but they do support him
The secret ingredient is lies!
There have been a few, search it
That response tells me you pulled it out of your ass

I think by far the most favorable poll of Luigi was College Pulse, in which the largest group found the killing somewhat justified with 33% and totally justified in 15%.
A better portrayal of the USA as a whole would be StratPolitics poll which breaks down his approval to above or below 45 years old with a very stark difference of 8% and 31%.
I've presented two polls magically out of my ass, I take it you're still trying to figure out the internet to find one poll counter to my claim?
Youβd be a lot more effective if you just shared the polls right away.
I still think I'm very effective. Don't be swayed by a downvote botnet, look for the signs of organic behavior.
no one's programming a botnet over your attitude. people are just trying to gently encourage a less snotty behavior
No no no, people can't possibly dislike his comments. It has to be a coordinated effort to suppress his views via a voting system that matters even less than reddit's. What's more likely? That people dislike his approach, or a shadowy cabal of downvote fairies that have taken an interest in him specifically? I think the answer speaks for itself.
They're programming a botnet to push their political agenda. Mostly Tankies do it. This happens to overlap with Luigi Worship because they're pushing the narrative that he is some kind of patron saint of the working class murdering authorities and tearing down the state with violence even though he himself probably has no such goals or opinions.
Tankies would love that outcome. Tankies want the USA to destroy itself.
If you really don't think botnets exist on lemmy fr everything from posts, comments, and votes then you're supremely naΓ―ve.
And to be clear I am not calling every Luigi supporter a bot. I am saying it isn't organic for every voice of reason to go 3 - 34 in a few minutes.
no i know botnets exist here. i had to take time away from here because of how insane things were getting in the run up to the election. but what people are saying, including me in another comment, is that we are trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. i read your comment about polling data and took interest, did a search, couldn't find anything, and the asked you, the person who already had access to the intel to help me out. your response was to be snotty. then someone else provided some guidance about how the reason everyone is downvoting you is that your snottiness is unpleasant and you literally said "no i'm an effective communicator, it's y'all who are the problem"
look, i'm fully done with this conversation, i just want you to know why this all happened. it was avoidable. like. to be honest once you posted the polls it did shift my perspective a bit. i even upvoted that comment. but everything else about how you've acted in this thread? just awful and unpleasant and really makes me want to take another hiatus because i don't need this degree of hostility in my life. that's why people are saying your communication style could use some work here. it's unpleasant to the extent that it drives people away from your genuinely persuasive point.
Goodbye and have a beautiful time.
I literally went through all your comments on this thread and chose to downvote each one of them because you're kind of an ass, and then laughed at the end when you're deluding yourself into thinking it's bots.
Face it mate you're just being a shit and people don't like you.
we all live in customized media bubbles. if i'm asking for something it's because i searched and i couldn't find it. i saw your other comment and am looking that stuff over, but i didn't ask because i lack the knowledge to perform a web search
I never doubted you
Not that I don't believe you, but you made the claim: Provide evidence? What poll are you referring to?
