I have literally no idea what you are talking about?
If a show political and is targeted at democrats it will naturally have democrat audience and therefore votes on imdb. Vice versa for conservative media. Or other genres/subcultures. This isn't manipulation, that's just having an audience.
Do you also look up childrens shows and think it's IdEoLoGiCaLlY BiAsEd because it isn't all adults voting it 1 stars?
My suspicion is that you spend too much time with politics and have severe brain rot from it.
I think he's pointing to the reviewers that the show is not targeted at reviewing it anyway and giving it a rating based on the reviewer's ideology, not the actual quality of the product.

It got particularly bad in 2016, but it's kind of blatant OP isn't wrong at all, nor has his brain "rotted". What a gaslight post.

It's brainrot to see politics everywhere.
It's not gaslighting to say imdb doesn't claim their ratings where from an equal distribution on critics. Progressive movies have a progressive audience, kids movies have children as an audience, artsy movies have an artsy audience, Conservative movies have a conservative audience, horror movies have a horror-loving audience etc. That's just facts.
