    Looking at the down votes pile up for this. Utterly wild to see the denial of reality that is going on in this sub around Biden’s lack of fitness for the role. It smacks so clearly of the cult that formed around DJT in r/TheDonald 2015. The brigading, captured moderation, rampant denial of material fact, the beginnings of a cult of personality, the weird weird mental gymnastics. Whats the phrase? History doesn’t repeat but it sure does rhyme.

    If I were a nation state looking to capsize the Democrats chance of victory right now, I would be specifically targeting individuals who are in the “Blue No Matter Who (but only Biden actually)”/ “Blue Maga”, to amplify the effect of what they’ve started organically. Its identical to what happened via r/TheDonald, except that I suppose the spotlight / return on investment here is so low lemmy isn’t seem worth targeting.

    Anyways, the people downvoting this post, continuing to repeat the false narrative that we must stick with a candidate who is demonstrably lost in this election, they’re the ones we all need to be pushing back against if we don’t want to be frog marched into fascism.

      i think it’s worse than that: it seems that any pejorative article or post is heavily downvoted on lemmy.word where the rest of the lemmyverse has active discussions.

      and it seems to track given my very few run ins w their modteam

      The doubling down of “we’re ridin’ with Biden” people are who’s going to get Trump re-elected. Head in the sand.

        Its incredibly weird to have Schiff as a bedfellow in the “Joe must go” campaign, but if we slip on our machiavalli glasses, it makes sense.

        Schiff is running for senator. With Biden on the ticket, Schiff’s five-million-dollar rat-fucking of Katie Porter gives us the Republicans a California senate seat.

        The fact that players like Pelosi and Schiff are in opposition to Blue Maga; it shows that this isn’t a fringe movement. House and senate members who understand the consequences of Biden as the nominee down ballot are in full blown break glass pull handle panic mode. If Biden is the nominee, Trump can enact all the elements of project 2025 through the normal legislative procedures. No supreme court necessary.

        Biden isn’t just a candidate that hands Trump the election, he’s a candidate that hands the Republicans the house and the senate too.
