Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

MODERATORS
It amuses me that your comment was down-voted automatically in literally less than 30 seconds of posting, which means there are actual bot farms on here down-voting the mere mention thereof. I only noticed because I happened to refresh and see the notification that you replied to me.
Though sadly yeah, I know what you say is true.
My comment has no downvotes. I just don't upvote my own comments.
Oh interesting, do you manually down-vote yourself to 0 or is there a setting for that?
I just remove the upvote on my comment after posting.
The general thought when I've seen this brought up in the past is that the default upvote represents your own willingness to stand by and approve what you say; kind of like the adage, "If you won't stand up for yourself, who else will?" Not that I mind either way but I'm curious why you take extra energy and time to do so.
If I don't stand by my comments I don't make them.
