Here's a convo I'm having on Bluesky. Man, libs are trip.

A thing worth noting is Joe Biden has never lost an election.

Serious question - Why is that worth noting?

In terms of guessing what's going to happen, we have some objective priors.

I'm stealing that. Classic copium.

Joe Biden tried running for President in 1984, 1988, and 2008 and failed all three times that lib is lying to your face.

I thought about mentioning that but I assumed they'd say something like "Of course I meant after Biden got the nomination." In any case - I made the mistake of continuing to talk to them. Here's their bio...

Anti-fascist. Cultural Marxist Globalist. Liberal.

At first I thought they are the sort of person trying really hard to be clever all the time. But I seriously wonder if they understand what words mean. I now think the "objective priors" stuff was actually the sincere belief of an utter fool.

Liberals hate understanding the meaning of words

This is a second-level reactionary. Nobody on the planet is a Cultural Marxist Globalist, that's a things chuds invented to be mad at. If this person calls themselves that, it's in reaction to the reactionaries because they don't know shit except that they exist in opposition to whatever they believe. Mirror world.

They are a reactionary, but what you are describing is psychological "reactance," which is its own thing.

it's just buzzwords that make conservatives mad and they call anyone who is left of mussolini

Yet it still has 142 comments - haha.

Edit

It now has 138 comments. I assume some comments were nuked by the mods. The r/politics mods are really awful.

The libs in the comments talking about how this criticism is unfair are just amazing.

Biden Must Resign. If the president wants to protect American democracy, he should hand over his office

brow

to Kamala

Nah fuck off

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I agree, but can we really deny that it would be objectively the funniest presidency in American history?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Him losing by 300 electoral votes and the same down ticket will be way funnier

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

It would be pretty funny

Kamala should push him off a coconut tree if he doesn't step down voluntarily.

Serwer is liberal active on social media. I don't know much about him but I think libs respect him. I wonder if they will attack him online or if they are finally realizing Biden is most likely toxic for the dems going into the elections.

Edit 1 Here's a Bluesky post - https://subium.com/profile/philipncohen.bsky.social/post/3kwitk3cwsg2n - It's ~30 minutes old and it has exactly one repost and one like. Both of which are from me - haha.

Edit 2 The post is now an hour old. Still no activity other than from me.
