Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
The senile man controlled like a puppet by a shadowy cabal is the best chance for democracy. The party with the word democracy in their name is hellbent on appointing them instead of allowing their constituents to choose someone better. They want to force a man who represents a significant chunk of the electorate to be removed from ballots. This is the future of democracy.
You don't know what "let's go Brandon" is. It's not funny because some reporter wanted to avoid cursing on TV. It's funny because some reporter was trying to hide the utter disdain america has for Joe biden and thought she could think fast and hide it and thought that the audience was too stupid to get it. It's facetious and has layers. It's alluding to the idea you can't candidly speak truth in the US. Its laughing at the media's attempt to whitewash our politics. And lastly, it means "fuck Joe biden" which at this point almost everyone in the US agrees.
The right doesn't like him, the left doesn't like him, the neolibs don't like him, nobody likes him, but people will vote for him because the elites that rule over us take our options away. "Best chance for democracy" lol Joe biden is proof that democracy is dead in america, he is emblematic of that fact.
You write great fan fiction.
