A popular post today asked for opinions from Republicans. The majority of the responses are not from Republicans.
If it was accurate, it would be a nearly empty comment section with one or two real conservatives who brought their real opinions.
I remember a similar comment section from when I first started here on Lemmy asking Twitter users why they were still using it and there were like a fucking hundred comments saying “I’m not using it/I don’t use it.” Cool, real helpful, folks.
Seriously, what compels this behavior? It only drowns out any real answers.
Is it really important to be the hundredth person to say the same shit that’s already been said in a thousand other threads? Especially when the thread in question was asking for differing opinions?
The smartass in me wants to ask if I can answer your question. More helpfully, I sometimes answer questions on here (Lemmy in general) because I think I can contribute to a discussion, and the more people that contribute, the better the experience for everyone (within reason).
As to your specific question, I’m not from the US but I guess there’s probably not very many republican voters on here - did you expect there to be?
I am not the one who asked for Republican answers, so I don’t know why someone would expect many to be here at all.
Like I said, I would expect an empty comment section, not one filled with non-Republicans answering.
