You may have noticed a distinct lack of return2ozma. This is due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith:

I’m sure there will be questions, let me see if I can address the most obvious ones:

  1. Can I still post negative stuff about Biden?

Absolutely! We have zero interest in running an echo chamber. However, if ALL you’re posting is negative, you may want to re-think your priorities. You get out of the world what you put into it and all that.

  1. Why now?

Presumption of innocence. It may be my own fault, but I do try to think the best of people, and even though they were posting negative articles, they weren’t necessarily WRONG. Biden’s poll numbers, particularly in minority demographics ARE in the shitter. They are starting to get better, but he still has a hell of a hill to climb.

  1. Why a 30 day temp ban and not a permanent ban?

The articles return2ozma shared weren’t bad, faked, or from some wing-nut bias site like “beforeitsnews.com”, they were legitimate articles from established and respected news agencies, pointing out the valid problems Biden faces.

The problem was ONLY posting the negatives, over and over and then openly admitting that dishonest enagement is their purpose.

Had they all been bullshit articles? It would not have taken anywhere near this much time to lay the ban and it would have been permanent.

30 days seems enough time for them to re-think their strategery and come back to engage honestly.

      … have I EVER made a thread on here?

      Shit, going down through my posts on PoliticalMemes there’s not even a pattern. Over the past week, I’ve got:

      1. Making fun of a Trumpism

      2. “‘Fascist’ is overused online”

      3. A post critical of China’s anti-LGBT policy - I guess we can count that one as a “LIBERAL AGENDA” moment if we really want to stretch

      4. “Why do online fascists always have anime profile pics”

      5. “Reagan was a homophobic murderous shithead”

      6. “MAGA doesn’t understand what socialism is, they just hate gay people”

      7. Pro-Palestine post

      What’s… what’s the agenda, based on my posts? Like, obviously, I get that I’m a shitlib to you people, but I don’t flood communities with agendaposting.
