Bruh… You have to stop this tactic of accusing people who are legitimately worried about Biden losing of boosting Trump. There are no potential-Trumpers here.
You are attacking the person instead of engaging with their argument. It’s just ad hominem.
Technically, there is no reason to assume that. Pro-[anything] can create an account on any federated instance and participate in all available communities, not necessarily in an obvious way.
For example, some days ago someone created an account on a federated instance, exclusively to respond to a comment of mine from 1 year ago.
This it still the Internet, even if a somewhat calmer part of it.
Right, but you’re talking about someone who is already pro -Trump. I’m talking about people who are undecided, but potentially pro-Trump.
Trolls most definitely infiltrate Left spaces, but undecided (which in practice means uninterested) voters who lean rightwards don’t, and they’re the ones that might be swayed towards Trump by arguments against a given Democrat candidate.
Hm, not sure of any of that. Since it’s a federated instance, people from many different spaces can read and be targeted by anything in here. Thinking from a manipulation point of view, it’s a platform that goes beyond the instance’s orientation.

Agree to fully disagree.
But I’m also not a bruh. Suh? Idk.
Apologies, I did not intend to misgender.
Bruh as it’s used here in California is not gendered, and it is not something you address someone as, it’s an expression of frustration or disbelief.
You’re right, except for this:
