This is, objectively, a political meme. Humor is not requisite.

This happens every election cycle the closer election day comes. Is it really any surprise political advocacy is higher during political season?

And what makes this “astroturfed”?

“Things I disagree with are being upvoted so it must be a coordinated campaign”

Is it? Your complaint is that things you disagree with are appearing more frequently, which they do when people upvote them. Sorry most of us have similar feelings about not voting / voting third party, but the only reason you’d call it astroturfing is if you think it’s disingenuous.

Every single time I open Lemmy I see at least 5 posts about " voting third party bad" it is not much different from reddit during the 2016/2020 campaign. How it is run now I wouldnt know because I havent browsed reddit since 2023.

Even political Memes are generally lighthearted and people dont fight as much in the comments compared to reddit.

These are just facts though. Until idiots stop voting 3rd party and spoiling elections for fascists, this pattern will continue.

You would be better off convincing the ignorant to stop engaging in the Spoiler Effect.

Then the memes shall stop. Everyone wins.

A better solution would be for the US to implement some kind to voting system where third party voting does matter. Like lots of the world has.
