Mood, how are like 90% of articles pushing this narrative instead of pointing out Trumps latest new heights of dementia ranting.
We meed to push and down vote this Biden shit and post and share latest info on what new crazy shit trump is brain rotting about now and what implications it has.
Why. Not. Both.
People can hold two thoughts in their mind at once. Trump and the implication of his second term is a fucking scourge and an existential threat…
ANDDDDD
Biden is an old man who needs to be sent out to pasture because he can’t keep up anymore.
Jesus Christ why is Lemmy having such a difficult it time with this?!
Because we don’t have time for both. We have time for one thing now, and if we win the election, then we can address the rest afterward. Priorities, dude.
Don’t be selfish. Making sure that democracy defeats fascism is more important than whatever specific thing you have in mind right now. Because if we don’t do the first thing, we’ll all get stuffed gas chambers and ovens all no one will be left alive to care about the second thing.
And when all of our skin is searing off, then you can call me melodramatic
Sharing news about trump helps trump. He feeds off it and so do the press. Discussing Biden is better than discussing trump. What this article point out is that its questionable that Biden is suitable to be president. Its clear Trump isn't. Who else has a shot? Nobody. That's sad state of affairs.
And how long does sharing articles shitting all over Biden help Biden? Because his poll numbers keep going down the more that happens. The more people talk about Trump, the more as numbers go up.
Your reasoning is obvious bullshit, and the facts have backed that up for the better part of a decade
There are a decade of articles shitting over trump. Its helped him. Negative articles about Hilary, Biden Obama were all successful.
Democrat candidates run on a platform. Republican candidates run on fear. Trump has ridden a wave. He is media savvy but not very bright, nor did he invent this phenomenon. He just benefitted from it.
