WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel's offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November's election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president's policy...
Thereâs a good chance that most of the protestors werenât going to be voting anyway. As I understand demographics, every election year, the âSJWâ types arenât counted on to participate.
Iâll absolutely be blaming them if the margin is close enough to make a difference. Because that is how it works. The votes are needed until they arenât needed and we wonât know whatâs needed until someone is elected.
You shouldnât need this explained to you.
I will say however, that like previous election years- all of you anti-[whoever is the democratic candidate] folk will predictably disappear the moment the election is called.
And what exactly do to think not voting at all gets us? Because third part voting is essentially the same thing as not voting. The only difference in a third party vote is that you at least canât be accused of pouting and staring home.
Anyone else notice how quiet the bOtH siDEs camp is on articles like this? Seems they only like to talk about how bad both sides are when Biden is the subject being discussed- but when any of the right wing lunacy is brought up, theyâre vapor.
This is a very clear indication as to what their motives are here.
VOTE LIKE LIVES DEPEND ON IT. There are a lot of people here hoping you donât so that Trump can win November. Donât give this to them!
That you donât see it, doesnât mean it isnât happening. There are tons of people posting daily the bullshit about both sides. Iâd name them, but then Iâd be banned for it.
Tons of people urging others not to vote. Tons of people saying both sides are the same- because of a single issue. And one they barely understand.
Donât confuse the insistence that people get out and vote, and the calling out of bad actors anything other than what it is- an attempt to prop up American democracy and keep us from having to endure another four years of dictatorship.
Bingo. And they think people are falling for that bullshit. More than likely whatâs happening is theyâre all just bullshitting one another without even being aware of it.
How funny! I was just permanently banned from that same community this morning for disagreeing with one of their trolls. And yet, said mod was recently in a discussion about being fair and moderating civility.
Meanwhile, they allow all sorts of accusations and bullshit from the far left.
I love watching this shit get downvoted into oblivion. It gives me hope that lemmy isnât going to be a far-left wind tunnel of misinformation and/or propaganda.
Okay. Provide the name of a candidate that can beat Trump. Noting more than a name. No excuses, no bullshit.
I want you to type out- in letters, the name of a person currently running, that can win against Trump. With no âIfâ statements and no âbut what aboutâ statements.
A name.
Just a name.
Currently running
Qualified as a candidate.
Anything less is admitting you have no clue what youâre talking about.
The irony is delicious. A bunch of âpatriotsâ being told by a fascist that he intents to disregard the constitution of their beloved country and eating it up.
Yes. This has been explained to you every time you post your anti-Biden propaganda.
NOT VOTING AND EXPECTING CHANGE IS BAD.
Nothing will change. Youâre not doing anything that hasnât been done many times in the past- provenly with zero results. All youâre going to do is help us get Trump- but you know this already, donât you?
And the fact that you donât care, shows how little respect youâre deserved in this.
Dude. If you canât see thatâs sheâs bandwagoning youâre blind as blind gets. This is all about her brand. Nothing more. She doesnât give a shit. But since you never listen to anyone and think you know everything- you go ahead and look at the world through whatever lens you feel you need to.
Youâre shilling an article about someone who has a proven track record of being selfish, shallow, and as fake as they get. Itâs hilarious that you think this is making some kind of point in your favor.
You arenât even aware that this further illustrates your agenda here to everyone. Trust me when I say this, youâre doing yourself NO favors here.
People like Ozma donât seem to care about any of that. Their disingenuous agenda appears to have no other purpose than to smear Biden and nothing else. Many people have tried explaining how things work just as you have, and many even brought proof to support their argument.
This dude just shuts down and stops responding when he runs out of excuses to not vote. This is about as bad-faith as it gets. Youâre better off just citing how itâs wrong than trying to get this person to listen to reason.
Cardi is a fraud. Sheâs trying to boost her brand. Nothing more.
âI just wanna debate this guy, but you knowâ and Iâm gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,â Trump said as the audience cheered. âI am. No, I really am. I donât want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.â
Trump is in NO position to demand anything. Heâs lucky heâs been allowed to fleece this country and get away with being a criminal as long as he has.
So many 'both sides are the same' memes by Blue MAGA trying to voter shame like they do ever election year. We don't live in a democracy, we haven't in awhile. Another example of the plutocracy surfaced today......
Itâs very telling how those of you on the BOtH siDeS side seem to always be absent from any post that is critical of Trump and the criminal right wing agenda.
Itâs almost as if thereâs some weird bias to your logic that compels you to not spread your âbOtH siDeSâ rhetoric to any post that illustrates how shitty the right is.
Mods can and do ban for whatever they donât like. The ârulesâ are there as a vague list of nonsense to appear as if thereâs a general desire to have order, but at the end of the day- theyâll ban you for saying anything they disagree with.
Itâs their community. And itâs there for them. Not you.
