Despite polls, Biden aides insist Gaza campus protests will not hurt reelection bid ( www.reuters.com )

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...

There’s a good chance that most of the protestors weren’t going to be voting anyway. As I understand demographics, every election year, the “SJW” types aren’t counted on to participate.

Mastengwe ,

I’ll 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 aren’t needed and we won’t know what’s needed until someone is elected.

You shouldn’t 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.

I wonder why that is
.

Mastengwe ,

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 can’t be accused of pouting and staring home.

But you know this already. Don’t you?

Mastengwe ,

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, they’re 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 don’t so that Trump can win November. Don’t give this to them!

Mastengwe , (edited )

That you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. There are tons of people posting daily the bullshit about both sides. I’d name them, but then I’d 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.

Don’t 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.

Mastengwe ,

Bingo. And they think people are falling for that bullshit. More than likely what’s happening is they’re all just bullshitting one another without even being aware of it.

Mastengwe ,

Oh they see it. They just like pretending it’s not a problem.

Mastengwe ,

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.

Mastengwe ,

They don’t want to be disagreed with here. This is what happens when you allow teenagers to moderate communities.

Mastengwe ,

I love watching this shit get downvoted into oblivion. It gives me hope that lemmy isn’t going to be a far-left wind tunnel of misinformation and/or propaganda.

Mastengwe ,

How can people be so fucking dumb?

Look who posted it.

Mastengwe ,

The irony of YOU of all people making accusation comparing people to MAGA- is fucking HILARIOUS.

Mastengwe ,

Maybe in your high school where wannabe-edgy bullshit like that is considered edgy- but not in the real world.

Mastengwe ,

Are you one of his sock puppets, or a white knight here to rescue them from the repercussions of their own actions?

Mastengwe ,

But he isn’t. You just think he is because you think everyone that disagrees with you is a fascist.

Mastengwe ,

False equivalency: the weapon of the terminally outraged.

Mastengwe ,

What helps me sleep at night is not buying into the manufactured outrage of teenaged idealists that won’t listen to reason.

Mastengwe ,

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 “If” statements and no “but what about” statements.

A name.

Just a name.

Currently running

Qualified as a candidate.

Anything less is admitting you have no clue what you’re talking about.

Mastengwe ,

Thanks for playing. You can show yourself out.

Mastengwe ,

Which is why Bethesda locking all current and future work behind MS/Xbox is quite possibly the dumbest fucking thing they could do.

Mastengwe ,

Outside of high school, who thinks being a virgin is an insult?

Mastengwe ,

The irony is delicious. A bunch of “patriots” being told by a fascist that he intents to disregard the constitution of their beloved country and eating it up.

You can’t make this shit up.

Mastengwe ,

News flash: to them, it’ll only be fair if they win.

Mastengwe ,

Another idiot leading the charge to do nothing and expect results. At least this isn’t out of character for her.

Mastengwe , (edited )

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. You’re not doing anything that hasn’t been done many times in the past- provenly with zero results. All you’re going to do is help us get Trump- but you know this already, don’t you?

And the fact that you don’t care, shows how little respect you’re deserved in this.

Mastengwe ,

Dude. If you can’t see that’s she’s bandwagoning you’re blind as blind gets. This is all about her brand. Nothing more. She doesn’t 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.

Mastengwe ,

You’re shilling an article about someone who has a proven track record of being selfish, shallow, and as fake as they get. It’s hilarious that you think this is making some kind of point in your favor.

You aren’t even aware that this further illustrates your agenda here to everyone. Trust me when I say this, you’re doing yourself NO favors here.

But that’s not why you’re here, is it?

Mastengwe ,

People like Ozma don’t 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. You’re better off just citing how it’s wrong than trying to get this person to listen to reason.

Cardi is a fraud. She’s trying to boost her brand. Nothing more.

Mastengwe ,

Oh I know why
 we all know why. You’re not nearly as clever as you think you are at hiding it.

Mastengwe ,

Seems no one here believes you.

Mastengwe ,

This has been explained to them time and time again. They have made it very clear that they’re not here to debate it.

It’s a misinformation campaign and not much else.

Mastengwe ,

There’s nothing there to disagree with, but the propaganda team here isn’t concerned with nuance.

Mastengwe ,

Then it looks like your propaganda campaign is going to work, eh?

Mastengwe ,

There tons of LGBTQ + that wish they could be around to disagree with that ignorant statement. But you don’t really care about that do you?

Trump Demands Biden Take a Drug Test Before Debating and Claims the President Was ‘High as a Kite’ During the State of the Union ( www.mediaite.com )

“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”

Mastengwe ,

Trump is in NO position to demand anything. He’s lucky he’s been allowed to fleece this country and get away with being a criminal as long as he has.

Mastengwe ,

Count on it.

Mastengwe , (edited )

Does anybody else think it’s peculiar that when there’s a post here that’s critical of the right, or points out their cruelty or criminality


the bOtH siDeS kids are always absent from any discussion on it?

I wonder why that is.

Mastengwe ,

Oh I’ve no doubt about their intentions. The problem is that if you actually say it, your comments get removed and you face potential bans


But they can accuse people of supporting genocide all day.

Mastengwe ,

We see what we want to see I guess.

Mastengwe ,

It’s not surprising that only mindless incels that can’t think for themselves would worship a guy like this.

I’ve never seen anyone support this douche that hasn’t proven themselves to be incapable of independent thought.

Mastengwe ,

But I disagree with them BECAUSE they’re incels.

Mastengwe ,

It’s 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.

It’s almost as if there’s some weird bias to your logic that compels you to not spread your “bOtH siDeS” rhetoric to any post that illustrates how shitty the right is.

I wonder why that is.

Mastengwe ,

Too late for that man. You showed your hand already.

Mastengwe ,

Mods can and do ban for whatever they don’t like. The “rules” are there as a vague list of nonsense to appear as if there’s a general desire to have order, but at the end of the day- they’ll ban you for saying anything they disagree with.

It’s their community. And it’s there for them. Not you.
