Upvoted for suggesting that the oligarchy is solely responsible for the state of American politics, downvoted for pointing out that this means the voters aren’t.
Never change, Lemmy~<3.

Both comments share the same opinion, but stating it in terms of the lack of agency of American voters earns downotes while the version that emphasises the culpability of the oligarchy gets the opposite.
Was your goal to prove random people on the internet are inconsistent? Even i could have told you that.
My goal was to share my amusement with this inconsistency.
Hence the whole, “Never change, Lemmy”.
Guess I don’t share in the amusement.
I guess I’m just easily amused.
