He doesn’t dictate the who runs. You said yourself. Career suicide, remember?
We’re done with this now.
Yea, that's an immensely naive view of the world. It's got real "bootstraps" energy: "Why don't those politicians who are trying to enact change just get ostracized from their party and the funding base while facing up against a multi-billion dollar political machine that will grind them into dust and then primary them for their disloyalty at the earliest opportunity."
You're right. They're absolute cowards. They should make more principled stances that hamstring them from actually improving lives - its what Marjorie Taylor Greene would do and we love her. /s
Chose a lane man. When you have, come back and we can discuss this. Otherwise, as I said…. We’re done here.
I did chose a lane - you're just engaging in bad faith conversation tactics. You consider my position to be invalid out of an apparent misled belief that I'm just trolling and therefore are just repeating dead lines to shut down the conversation.
I emigrated up to Canada so I'm fine but my mother is a retiree in the US and a staunch Biden supporter. The debate has her terrified that she'll need to pack up and leave because, to most of us, Biden looks incapable of winning this election. I voted for Hillary even after she used the DNC to muscle out Sanders but she was a deeply flawed candidate and she lost. Biden seems to be on the same trajectory, an establishment darling that is unpopular and struggling to excite the voting base.
Whichever Dem is on the ballot in November is getting my vote but it really looks like Biden is going to fuck us all and get Trump elected again.
Not who you were replying to, but they're out in fucking numbers today aren't they?
Jesus Christ it's like the have a whole troll farm dedicated to Lemmy.
And they can't come up with a better argument than "BiDeN oLd Hur Hur"
Just FYI dude, I'm a real person and accusations of astroturfing are completely unproductive to actually having a conversation.
You added absolutely nothing of value to this thread.
Yep. They’re usually quiet a day or so after something happens, then the get their marching orders to go forth and sew discontent via misinformation. There’s also a shit-ton of vote manipulation happening.
We all need to be calling this shit out.
