Everywhere. Just look for anything that goes against (even slightly) the leftist perspective, such as:
anything critical of trans people competing in sports - a lot of those policies are bigoted, but there are legitimate concerns
evidence that the economy is not as bad as people claim - e.g. cars aren’t more expensive today than they used to be, bottom of the market cars are about the same price as they were 20 years ago, after accounting for inflation (they’re actually a little cheaper in many cases, and have way more tech)
arguments criticizing Biden/Democrats
anything anti-socialist
And so on. The quality of the argument doesn’t matter, what matters is that it doesn’t fit the leftist agenda, so it gets downvoted like crazy.
Go ahead, try playing devil’s advocate sometime (and don’t say the equivalent of “I’m a leftist, but…”) and cite your sources and see how well your post does vs comments that ignore facts and spout common leftist rhetoric, the lower effort post will get more votes and yours will probably go negative.
Aside from criticism of Biden/Dems, in all of those cases you’re taking a position that is, in general, not true. Just because you have some facts that suggest the economy is better than we think, or that socialism doesn’t work better than capitalism, doesn’t make you correct. Just because a fact is correct doesn’t make it true. The truth is that capitalism is killing us all, and nitpicking that narrative really doesn’t help anybody. Facts that disagree with that truth are usually either misleading or literally just fabrications themselves.

You’re literally a different user. Do you have two accounts?
Nope, just someone who has the same problem.
I’m not saying the problem doesn’t exist, but I was curious for specific examples from them.
It’s kind of hard to just pull examples out of thin air. It seems when people are down voted like crazy, they stop posting to that community as much.
They didn’t have many comments, I briefly looked through them and couldn’t seem to find what they were talking about.
