why does criticizing a politician cause so many to [reflexively] defend them?
Probably because they disagree with you?
To be clear I agree with your criticisms, Kamala is 100% a cop. I disagree with you banning anyone who uses the word “vote” in their disagreement.
Kamala is the democratic candidate for president, anytime we talk about her we’re implicitly talking about the election. You can’t then turn around and ban anyone who then brings up the election. You brought it up first!
If you think “Kamala sucks” posts aren’t electioneering then I don’t know how to help you.
Telling people to just google it really discourages a lot of community.
