If I didn’t recognize OP’s username, I’d definitely think it was an organized campaign from some TotallynotBotFarm

Maybe you should reevaluate your immediate reaction to dissent if your first thought is ‘bot farm’ and not ‘another person just has a different take than me.’

OP is not the only one suddenly voicing this opinion. I had never seen it before last week and now there's been a dozen posts/comments on this pretty bad take.

But regardless, people said the same thing about the protest non-voters. They're just voicing their opinions, right?

If you don’t think there are literally people who aren’t bots who think things you don’t there is nothing I can add to this conversation.

It’s kind of funny that you also decide that seeing an opinion somewhere multiple times is evidence of a conspiracy and not like… people getting sick of annoying shit.

I do think that but it doesn't change my point at all. The group most vocally opposed to releasing the files is currently running the country. Why would I not find it weird that someone from the left is telling us to get over it?

Kind of funny that you think a rightwing campaign to change public opinion "from the inside" is so unheard of that someone would be weird to raise an eyebrow to this

Why would I not find it weird that someone from the left is telling us to get over it?

You could try finding anyone anywhere in this thread saying that, but you would fail.
