    Agree, this astroturfing is insane. I can’t help but think it’s a coordinated campaign, because Biden was very clearly senile in that debate, if not something worse. Democrats can still win if they let Biden retire and choose someone who can rebut Donald Trump.

      Just look at my two recent submissions to c/politics that were immediately down-voted anonymously for highlighting FOCUS GROUPS of UNDECIDED SWING VOTERS.

      Not one substantive argument.

      And you know I can’t tell if it’s scared Dems, or astroturfing right-wing operatives trying to ensure we maintain course with this sinking ship.

          Try scared democrats who refuse to accept that anyone could disagree with them cause they are right and think by plugging their ears it will just work out.

        Are there any communities where we can look at that kind of data and commentary without being censored? Lmk, c/politics is insane.

          c/politics is a radical conservative liberal shithole. None of those people give one single fuck about this country or it’s people. They’re fucking brunch lemmings who round up their change at Whole Foods and think they’ve saved the world

            To be fair, that’s just Lemmy.world in general at this point in time. It’s only gotten worse.

              Rich people who are less and less connected with those they pretend to be on the same side of. There is also a lot of entitlement of thinking they know how everything works and they and only they have the right answers from most of the user base of Lemmy. That’s a curse from everyone that’s here thinking they are “smarter” for being here than traditional social media.

                  Then you aren’t looking at the self hosting community on here. Or gardening. Or so many other communities. If you are on here you have free time and that’s usually because you are poor or rich

      How can someone even expect him to not be senile at this age.

      I can’t help but think it’s a coordinated campaign,

      Social media with bots and shit allow for such, yes.

      By the way, I don’t think the organizers of this campaign want Dems to win. They want Dems to lose.

      It may not be seen from the US and the EU, but Trump’s presidency has helped quite a few disgusting things to start happening in various parts of the world, though they continued during Biden’s presidency.
