I have noticed that. The closest they get to it is saying “blue maga” as if to lightly imply that “both sides are the same” bullshit but yeah he won’t criticize Republicans directly
The official position of lemmy leftists tends to be that Democrats are the same as Republicans because they’re both ‘liberal’, as in the European sense meaning capitalist, which overlooks a whole lot and is an ignorant “both sides are the same” or single issue fixation. I’m not sure how that translates into never criticizing Republicans, though? There are 3-4 people who post stuff like that regularly, especially talk about the ‘genocide’ issue, encourage 3rd party voting etc and never acknowledge comments regarding how voting works in the US, meaning that talking endless shit about Democrats works to get Trump elected, and that getting Trump elected will in no way whatsoever help Palestinians.

Yep. You are preaching to the choir! I could probably guess which users you mean too.
