The 45+ crowd will vote for him because they support isn’treal and are afraid of Drumpf but I think we’re going to see a massive drop out of young voters. Probably too with the people who already don’t vote to begin with, namely service workers who are fucked over either way with D’s and R’s.

And here I thought Biden was going to win in November, time to eat crow.

The Tik Tok ban definitely alienated a lot of younger voters. After seeing the likes of Jeff Jackson vote for the ban, many are jaded into believing that neither side is great.

Oooh I finally understand what the whole hexbear thing is. It’s a blockable echo chamber of a vocal minority.

Every single hostile comment here when you click on the profile. Hexbear. Neat!

Damn my Lemmy is about to get a lot more peaceful.

wait no, internet cool guy, the discourse here needs more smug libs defending their favorite socially conservative , pro-war, pro-cop & pro-prison octogenarian sex pest.

what will we do without someone repeating the same focus-grouped talking points of every corporate media outlet near the top of every half hour!

And of course you couldn’t just shut the fucl up and do that you had to let us all know how special you are.

Everybody here is glad to not have another dumbshit liberal making brain dead points that don’t stand up to a second of scrutiny.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Or do. Literally nobody gives a shit.

So you see opinions you don’t like and you’re blocking them so you are only exposed to the opinions you agree with? And you’re calling Hexbear an echo chamber? You’re a fucking moron.

It’s ironic that the Brandon admin had been bringing TikTok influencers to the White House to help boost the public image of the Inflation reduction act, but now is like fuck it, I’m banning the whole platform to defend a genocide.

EDIT: According to the intercept, the white house is still courting TikTok influencers.

My mom is 50 and anytime politics comes up she just gets upset and says, I guess trumps going to win because we’re all doing whatever we can not to vote for Biden. She’s not your average 50 year old though.

That is very much the behavior of your average 50 year old.

“Oh I guess you aren’t going to give me what i want just because he’s not perfect because he’s doing a genocide, stop being so selfish.”

She means it in the way that she personally isn’t going to vote for him because he’s a piece of shit, I’ve had her clarify. She only started voting about a decade ago after decades of disenfranchisement, and she’s already disillusioned.

Biden was always going to lose reelection, I never had a moment of doubt in my mind since the second he was elected
