The 5th Director of the FBI, Louis Freeh, who was director at the time of the complaint, was literally appointed by Bill Clinton. Furthermore, the 3rd director, William Webster, was appointed by Jimmy Carter, and the 7th director, James Comey, was appointed by Barack Obama.

Shh. This is lemmy, where we make excuses for democrats no matter what they do.

This is not reddit and when you make these kinds of insinuations you only ever wind up sounding like a conspiracist or a dolt (perhaps both).

You’ll find a large majority of Lemmy instances are pretty critical of the US Democrattic party and rightly so.

I have not found that to be the case. Say anything less than worshipful of the genocide wing that runs the party and you’ll get pushback. Try it for the very first time.

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

By which I mean your sweeping, obviously inaccurate claims about the userbase, not the genocide, which is definitely happening, happened under the previous administration too, and is extremely fucked up, and likely contributed to the fascists getting elected given how abysmally the DNC handled the entire situation?

You have a lot more issue with my saying that lemmy makes excuses for democrats than you do about the straight up lie that no democrat has ever appointed an FBI chair. Because that lie is there to excuse bad behavior of democrats.

The prevailing consensus on lemmy is that the democrats did nothing wrong at all and the mean old voters denied them the election.

Sounds like you may have been banned from communities that are expressing more nuanced opinions. Perhaps because of your fairly obviously dogmatic stance (not on genocide, but on how people are reacting to it)

Sounds like you’re gloating about pro-genocide echo chambers.
