Sadly I've seen some folks on true anon fall for this charm offensive. He's not our guy, even though he is a recovering addict and pseudo dirtbag adjacent he's still apart of the bourgeoise class.

100%. I just appreciate a good bit when I see one. Rehabilitating Joe Biden's cracked out failson via shitposting was NOT on my bingo card, but I ain't even mad at the winner for calling that shot.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure it's a good bit, but I just hope no one else out there seriously falls for this crap.

I saw hoards of people watch Biden stumble around, lost, blabbering, and clearly going senile. They all looked at him and said "Yes, that's our guy. Of course he's fit for office!"

Then Biden embarrased himself and his party on stage, so they all gathered behind one of the worst politicians I've ever seen, just because they were told to.

So yes, they are going to very much fall for this crap. Because it's what Big-Daddy Democrats want, and telling Big-Daddy Democrats "No" is worse than letting Fascism win.

If you gave me a choice between gruesome Newsome and recovering Crack addict failson id honestly rather the latter.

[–] haxboar@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Luckily, nobody ever has to make that false-binary choice!

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Buddy I too am shitposting my choice doesn't matter and I haven't voted in almost 20 years.

US socdems have a massive desire to hinge their political hopes on white dudes who make women reach for their mace, they will look past a lot of obvious problems for that.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

God that is so fucking true and I hate that you articulated it so well.

I will add: the USA is not the future. Shit only gets better after that particular project fails.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

They'll get it once he opens his mouth about any kind of policy

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago (4 children)

i think what annoys me the most about hunter biden shitposting is that he comes across like exactly what he is: a gen X boomer doing performative liberal millennial. who's it working on? only the most narcissistic millennial posters.

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I've only seen the highlights. This shtick has got to get old fast, even faster once the pitch gets serious. I saw that post earlier where he was trying to list his "accomplishments" and it just fell so fucking flat. It's still a rich fail son trying to sell the same old shit-- more of the status quo with a change in leadership.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

it feels like he just hired a "gen z focused" PR team or something that is willing to occasionally use one or two slightly more "radical" words than the standard dem machine playbook.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well shit why doesn't he hire me then? I could post like this.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly we really should be setting up grifts like this

Somebody's gonna make some money off this incredibly stupid bullshit, may as well be us

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

God, yes please. I am so fucking unemployed/broke rn.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I bet it's the same people who still post with the Iron Sheik's account.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is Newsom still doing the fake Trump tweet thing? That got old fast too, but Democrats are definitely the type to beat a dead horse to the ground.

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I have blessedly not heard that name in a month. You broke my streak, dawg. Not cool :(

[–] Locator_of_Liberals@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

every ironic "dirtbag leftist" who thinks he's fucking epic

[–] abc@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

who's it working on? only the most narcissistic millennial posters.

it's also working on the same group of constant online posters who claim to be 'leftist' but also love electioneering lol. "Sir, sir please come on my podcast" omg Mr. Biden is gonna go on the Adam Friedland show??

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

i mean, he's good content, adam friedland makes content. i don't think that means they buy this whole shtick.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you think for a moment his involvement is more than signing a contract, you’re less cynical that you should be

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

well i don't know if you saw my response to memesaretheory, but yeah i basically think he just hired a pr team.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

But to even entertain idea that it’s gen x boomer doing or being something (as opposed to signing contract and let them handle it), implies his involvement is more than paying some twitter guru 50 k for 3 months of shitposting to whitewash him

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

i said the posts come across as what hunter biden currently is: a gen x/boomer guy whose posts are in the language of "performative millennial." this is agnostic on the level of his involvement. you seem to be putting a lot of weight on whether i think "it's him" posting or a guy he pays way too much: i know that i don't know one way or the other, and i don't think it really matters anyway. so what if it was him? would that make it any less bullshit? i don't care about his level of involvement personally because i don't care about anything hunter biden could say on twitter. he's a corrupt fail son making a pass at running for office.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

I mean that was basically Nick Mullen's career

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Hunter Biden's attempt at shitposting his image into rehabilitation while Democrat leaders still cling to civility fetishism is certainly a contrast

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

sort of, but gavin newsom's team has been doing that for like a year+ now much more successfully than civility fetishist establishment types, so it's also just the obviously better tactic to employ.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kinda mad that I never thought to put a space in shitposting

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago
