Weird, because the push to replace Biden seems awfully like conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting.
If you’re paying attention to polling, no. He hasn’t really been winning the polls this entire time and the debate was his last hope of turning it around. I’m not saying there’s no chance, but they’re cutting it way too close on what should be an easy election. Should’ve replaced him at the beginning of the year, better late than never
It’s really not though. It’s just a nightmare. And of course in the modern system where you fight a campaign at every level before, during, and after the voting, the GOP would try to make this hard.
TIL 32% of Democrats are pushing conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting Democrat.
The “everyone who disagrees with me is a bad actor” conspiracy theories keep getting less and less plausible.
“The two-day poll found that both Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, maintain the support of 40% of registered voters, suggesting that Biden has not lost ground since the debate.”
From the survey you linked.
And? Does that contradict what I said in some way?
Fascism is internally inconsistent by definition. It’s all just to cause discord and confusion.
"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."-Jean-Paul Sartre
conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting
Things centrists say about anything to their left and only their left.
Til democratic governors, and congress people are now conservative propaganda
Does seem to be a lot of super rich people calling to replace the guy who wants higher taxes on the wealthy.
There are multiple groups. Their only goal is to sew chaos.
Shit, so do democrats apparently.
Democrats are right wingers
Democrats: “We promise to build one concentration camp less than the Republicans!”
Yeah that’s right: BoooOOOoTh SiDeS
This, but unironically.
America is a country that carefully maintains the appearance of democracy with none of the substance.
See people who can only speak in extremes lose me instantly. When you say “none of the substance”, you remove the chance of a productive conversation because of course there is some level of democracy
If by “some level of Democracy” you mean that the only people whose opinions have a statistically significant impact on policy are the wealthy and a select few corporate lobbying orgs, then I don’t disagree.
Science proved that America isn’t a democracy over a decade ago: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/princeton-scholar-demise-of-democracy-america-tpm-interview
We have never been a pure democracy so this is just as stupid and pointless as I said. You’re arguing with an imaginary point of view.
Truth x Facts
This should give pause to the dumbfucks who can’t acknowledge that Biden is in the shitter.
Should. Won’t. They’re in their element here: making up excuses for not changing anything.
And you’re in yours: discouraging votes so that Trump wins.
I summoned one.
If I cared that you would use that flimsy bullshit story I wouldn’t have called you on your incessant anti-Biden obsession
Was that a coherent thought before you typed it?
Nah because if you acknowledge what I said, maybe you’d have to address the thousands of messages you’ve written with the obvious goal of re-electing Trump. Easier to just pretend any opponent has a mental deficiency or something

Criticism of Biden isn’t campaigning for Trump, no matter how many times you pretend it is. If Biden doesn’t step down, he will lose. And you will blame everyone who tried to warn you.
Have that guy tagged as “fascist troll” for a reason.
Yep I have a similar tag myself. It’s how I track people that spread bad ideas.
At this point the only thing that’ll matter is who is his VP.
Kamala?
Is nobody going to point out that the DNC already had a primary? And that by replacing the candidate last minute, against the will of their voters, the DNC would be acting incredibly undemocratically? Do you want your core voting block to start voting in republican primaries instead? Because throwing out their primary vote is how you get that to happen.
The DNC had a primary, there were multiple candidates, Biden lost the primary in American Samoa. I voted for Biden, he won, if the party elite swap him out last minute regardless of what their primary said, why would anybody care to vote in their primaries?
People on Lemmy have convinced themselves that millions of people did not vote in the primary somehow.
The chances of the DNC telling Biden to take a hike are exactly zero, and no one should take that possibility seriously (because it’s stupid).
What may yet happen is Biden deciding to step aside voluntarily, in which case the fact that he won the primary is meaningless; the party can’t nominate a candidate who refuses to accept that nomination.
We’re fractured now. No matter who they put up there. Gear up for God King Trump.
You mean to tell me that centrist Democrats won’t vote blue no matter who?
