Weird, because the push to replace Biden seems awfully like conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

If you’re paying attention to polling, no. He hasn’t really been winning the polls this entire time and the debate was his last hope of turning it around. I’m not saying there’s no chance, but they’re cutting it way too close on what should be an easy election. Should’ve replaced him at the beginning of the year, better late than never

It's really not though. It's just a nightmare. And of course in the modern system where you fight a campaign at every level before, during, and after the voting, the GOP would try to make this hard.

Fascism is internally inconsistent by definition. It's all just to cause discord and confusion.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

No. We just reject the losing DNC strategies that pushed for Hilary so hard and got trump elected.

TIL 32% of Democrats are pushing conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting Democrat.

The "everyone who disagrees with me is a bad actor" conspiracy theories keep getting less and less plausible.

"The two-day poll found that both Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, maintain the support of 40% of registered voters, suggesting that Biden has not lost ground since the debate."

From the survey you linked.

And? Does that contradict what I said in some way?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

We're running a mentally disabled, almost dead, sundowner. Don't blame the players when he loses, blame the game. The DNC has played itself hard with a sure loser.

Til democratic governors, and congress people are now conservative propaganda

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Does seem to be a lot of super rich people calling to replace the guy who wants higher taxes on the wealthy.

There are multiple groups. Their only goal is to sew chaos.

conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting

Things centrists say about anything to their left and only their left.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At this point the only thing that'll matter is who is his VP.

This should give pause to the dumbfucks who can’t acknowledge that Biden is in the shitter.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Should. Won't. They're in their element here: making up excuses for not changing anything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (12 children)

And you're in yours: discouraging votes so that Trump wins.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have that guy tagged as "fascist troll" for a reason.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Yep I have a similar tag myself. It's how I track people that spread bad ideas.
