Kbin/Mbin (and possibly others?) definitely have the edge here since those platforms make votes public (only admins can see them on Lemmy). So, if you want to confirm what I’m saying here, go view some of these posts from Kbin/Mbin.

Every time one of the “usual suspects” says stuff like this in the comments, there will later be posts detailing how Biden is doing (or at least earnestly trying to do) exactly the things they’re saying he needs to be doing (oR ElSe i WiLl noT voTE anD NEithER ShoULD yoU!!!11!!). 100% of the time, those posts are downvoted by these same “usual suspect” accounts.

What gives? They have very strong opinions about how he should run his administration, so you’d think they’d appreciate him doing what they’ve been so helpfully suggesting. Unless…it was never about the issues at all.

That thin veneer of concern they’re hiding behind is not as thick as they think it is and is quite easy to see through. Now you know where to look.

Edit: Please don’t name and shame any specific users. That may violate the community or LW rules. We all know who most of the “usual suspects” are.

    OK vote blue no matter who, give me articles from reputable sources regarding:

    • Complete ban on all fossil fuel drilling in any US territory
    • Medicare for all
    • Massive expansions of railways
    • US recognizing Palestine as a state

    Edit: thanks VBNMW folks for proving my point - meme says you’ll give me 3 good sources showing he’ll do all this stuff, instead you give a ton of downvotes. Aren’t you guys the angry ones in this meme?

          The character in the meme thought that the person they were responding to was arguing in good faith. Perhaps no one here thinks that you are arguing in good faith. I know I certainly don’t think you are. You’re obviously just aiming for some lazy ‘gotcha’. So why should anyone bother doing policy research and analysis to give to you?

          This could be some of the laziest discourse I’ve seen. It’s a meme. Did you want it to list every single Democratic Party policy in that first panel? Do you genuinely think you’ve invalided their point because you’ve shown a meme isn’t absolutely watertight and accurate for every case you’re capable of imagining?

          I know you just wanted an excuse to tell us your opinions but fuck, at least try

      It’s because the goal isn’t to win you over, it’s to blame you for the inevitable loss.

      It’s all copium, especially today. Biden was already a shaky candidate and that was a terrible showing.
