    Saw this on Reddit earlier. They libs are calling it Russian propaganda. Then they say the demographics are off - so someone comes and shows the demographics are good - they run with the “demographics are bad” anyway.

      On the other hand “generic unnamed democrat” is winning in all these states.

      It’s not just the culture war Biden really is just an exceptionally shitty candidate, just like hillary.

      A bunch of people begrudgingly voted for him and he has actively done everything he can to piss off large portion of those voters, while acknowledging that fact and saying he doesn’t give a fuck and isn’t going to change anything.

      He barely squeaked by and since has alienated anybody who cares about labor right, environmental protections, not supporting genocide, and is now actively kicking Muslims out of campaign events. All the while nobody can afford groceries or rent and anytime they bring this up a liberal pops up to call them an idiot and explain actually they’re doing great thanks to bidenomics.

      Any random asshole could beat Biden at this point by not actively antagonizing people they’re supposedly relying on to vote for them.

    I’m still neutral on how this will go. Gut says Trump, but so many wacky things happen suddenly now that who knows. Some part of me still thinks Trump might go to jail or face some legal consequences. It’s still very surprising that Colorado and New Hampshire knocked him off their ballots and now it’s going to the supreme court. Also either of them might die or go infirm before November.

    I hate living in historically interesting moments

    Conversation I had with an older black friend:

    1. Trump will not save Gaza either.
    2. The United States was founded on genocide, slavery and is evil by definition.
    3. It is in the interest of the oligarchy to have apathetic voters.
    4. Third-Party candidates are a waste of time.
    5. Biden is the lesser of both evils.
    6. It is a moral responsibility to vote for Biden.

    I’m not sure how to respond, because I like the guy, but something about older Black boomers defending the Democratic Party makes for difficult conversations.
