it’s been how many days and we are still doing the “downvote the news because i don’t like it” thing?
people reacted to a thing and that reaction is going to have ripples, whether you think that’s a rational response or not. ignoring prescient issues is not campaign action; it’s ignoring prescient issues. and making you look just as bad as fox news et al being wholly submissive to trump.
I'd vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there's voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.
precisely. you can’t just ignore articles about the “moronic” things voters are saying, because those “morons” happen to each have a vote. pay attention to them or lose.
The fact that New York Times of all things is now considered evil/propaganda/russian because they reported the factual news of "People aren't enjoying Biden" and "The Debate was between a orange liar and a old man, neither won" people are wanting to boycott it.
Like this is when Republicans stopped watching (briefly until they forgot) Fox News because Chris Christie started thanking Obama for taking care of the repairs after a Hurricane. The moment their favorite news source doesn't repeat the same talking points as they want to hear, it's now evil.
Liberals just was a Democrat version of OAN, not a free press. John Oliver and John Stewart both got a lot of random hate mail from liberals for saying "Biden isn't a new FDR."
You don't like apathetic sarcasm? I'm going to vote for the guy with one foot in the grave with the hopes we end up with the first female president relatively quickly.
Voter apathy is largely myth. What liberals refer to as voter apathy are disenfranchised voters that realize that the system does nothing to help them, they are poor with blue in the White House and Congress they are poor with red in the White House and Congress. One tells you he's going to stab you in the back while the other one calls himself an ally while also stabbing you in the back.
Its funny how democrats actually believe we have any form of democracy. Your candidates are hand chosen by corporations and bankers, Your media is essentially state run propaganda, they have you fighting over which right wing oligarch will serve you this term, and they use voters to do their dirty work of keeping them in power
some of the vocally anti-biden members of lemmy have been really acerbic in the past and that has carried forward poorly to this date so now there is a lot of animosity towards them even as they are speaking truth.
but yeah i’m really sad. biden’s policy on israel’s genocide cost him michigan, and his refusal to step back might just cost democrats the election. it all snowballs.
Sorry man but you have been pretty verbally unkind to me in the past over things not even related to geopolitics or life/death matters. I probably fully match your positions on geopolitics but don’t expect me to relent and say those behaviors have no consequences. :(
