Is there currently an influx of bots in the Fediverse, or is it just that the usual patriotism is kicking in? (lemmy.world)

Hell yes there is. A bunch of left vs left and liberals vs left b.s for sure.

I'm definitely sick of constant post about how liberals are the problem.

Wtf?

No. The alt right is the problem. The corrupt Congress and judges are the problem. The pedos and protectors of pedos. The gop. Corp bought Dems. Billionaires. (Just to make a few).

Not other progressive people.

Also there is a big lack of media attention on all those girl schools in Iran that the u.s Israel just bombed.

I doubt that is specifically bots. The Left have been arguing with each other & liberals forever and Liberals are a popular target of criticism in the US because they're supposed to be opposing conservatives and they're not doing that.

So who are most of the people showing up to protests ?

If not liberals than who ?

I agree the so called liberal politicians are fake liberals and do little to help the people. But that's not really the same thing as liberal people.

Politicians are usually liars and change their stances easily to win votes. Many have no integrity.

They don't represent the liberal people.

Liberal politicians have no interest in meaningfully opposing conservatives and liberal people either fail to accept that as being true or worse allow themselves to buy into all kinds of bullshit beliefs being spread by said politicians because of tribalism. But you're basically correct that there is a gap between Democrats and the people who vote for them.d
