    I give credit to OP for not giving up on his views. It’s not easy being down voted so much. But I also want to point out that most of his links are from “credible” sources.

    Imagine if Fox said Trump was old. Or if Breitbart ran a story saying that Trump shouldn’t qualify for president because of Jan 6.

    They are both old. They are both “bad.” But only one is trying to be president. The other is trying to be a dictator. What’s worst, is that Trump has brainwashed all his supporters to live in an alternate reality. Hey look, CNN said Biden is old. Yes we know, that’s not news. I remember R’s complaining about Bidens age last time around because he was/is older. Cool, time passed and now Trump is that same age/older. Not a word from those same R’s. I wouldn’t want my grandparents running the country but somehow I HAVE to choose between someone else’s grandpa for president.

      Yes they both suck but voting for the lesser evil does not work. If the Democratic party does not move more left or supply a more suitable candidate they will fail. Voting blue no matter who will just cause the Democratic party to move further and further right as far as they can because further right policies benefit the people that run the Democratic party and it’s sponsors.

      OP is not someone bashing Biden so trump wins, they’re criticizing Biden because they know he’s part of a much greater problem

        Not related but relevant, Google used to have the motto of “don’t be evil.” Then money got involved, so they dropped the motto.

        You’re right and it sucks. There is no democracy, only the illusion of it. Maybe that’s why they call it political theater.

        OP is just getting some cheap laughs. They just wanna get people riled up but I just wanna relax. Sorry but adulting is hard enough without the fear media diet prevalent in right wing media, and creeping in to left wing media.

      Thanks. I don’t care about votes, there’s no karma here so it doesn’t matter. I came over from Reddit where I had nearly 2 million karma. https://www.reddit.com/u/return2ozma

      Used to have 65k followers on Twitter before I deleted my account because of Elon. I’ve dealt with the “you’re a Russian bot”, “you’re a Trumper”, “you’re ____” whatever they’re mad at this week since 2015 election cycle. I’ll continue to shit on Biden because in my eyes, the reason things are shit right now. Do I want Trump to win? No. F Trump. Is it my fault if Biden loses? No. It’s the candidates job to earn voter trust and the votes. If one person on obscure Lemmy can “take down the president” then he was extremely flawed already.
