It won't matter whose fault it is when democracy in the United States has been snuffed out.

Hey man, tell it to biden. He's clearly not taking this seriously enough.

I run this instance buddy. If you're going to call me a bot at least check my comment history.

Being a bot isn't the only part to it.

It's about being susceptible enough to propaganda to start pushing it too. The point is to harm. That doesn't matter whether you're a bot, a child, a billionaire or someone running an instance on a federated community born in communism lol. It's one of the funniest things regarding such strong stances on Lemmy. Everyone thinks they're immune to it when the entire article's basis is you can't tell.

You libs just can't deal with the fact that Biden sucks and the voters are demanding he move further left. I'm sorry, but we can't all just go back to brunch.

So you propose to cut off your nose to spite your face. If you think Trump is anything less than an end of our democracy, you’re naive. Do you think Trump will be any better on supporting Palestine? Absolutely not.

Why can't biden do what his voter base demand?
