I think it's a good idea to separate the politicians and party leaders from the rank-and-file members.
The organization knows what it is they are doing. But the members… I think of lot of them are just completely deceived in various ways about various things.
So when someone says "republicans want a dictatorship" it can be true in one sense, and nonsense in another.
I would prefer to use Lemmy, but it simply doesn’t have some things that reddit currently has. It could in the future, but it doesn’t have the user base yet.
