Again, this may not be that, but I think it’s a mistake to pretend that Beehaw is somehow immune to this technique that the right is demonstrably using on other platforms.

nobody here is pretending that it is, the issue is this is clearly not an example of this so you are functionally asserting the OP is an asset for any number of foreign disinformation and division campaigns. also the framing of "derail the Democratic party" presumes it's not correct to do this, but that's also a thing people can disagree on. for example: i'm a socialist--so yes, i support doing that in the long term.
