Everyone here should know, this is due to you and the conversations you've been having, media you've been supporting, and any actions you've taken to directly protest, letter write, etc.
Activism works. Being annoying af works. Simply changing the media you consume has an impact. Conservatives get what they want from their elected officials because they demand it. You too can demand things of your elected officials (so long as you can hold them to consequence, ie, the problem with bnmw).
Let's not forget, this is exactly how we ended segregation in the US and Apartheid in South Africa.
Activism works. Let your voice be heard.
This is also why bad actors fill sites like reddit with bots, to try and control the public narrative.
But bots can't vote. Bots can't demonstrate. Bots can't boycott.
And also kudos to Lemmy and Lemmy mods for keeping this place relatively free from bots.
I wouldn't count on that. I'm a dev, and I don't really know how you reliably do that. You can catch low hanging fruit, but it doesn't take much to evade.
They did it by keeping lemmy irrelevant. Jk, but really.
This is due to Biden needing to go to Michigan, with its huge arabic population. His campaign people wanted to avoid loud and awkward protests from members of his own party, so they threw a tiny bone that they knew would make a big headline splash.
I hate to be this cynical, but listening to his campaign managers making the rounds on the political insider podcasts… they are overwhelmingly “professional” and entirely inauthentic.
Even if biden himself is earnest, this campaign is shaping up to have all the stage managed authenticity of Hillary’s 2016 run.
I’m worried.
Lol if he comes to Michigan he's just gonna hide himself at the Ford plant where they get a select few line workers to attend his speech so they can post it on social media.
Dearborn would eat him alive if he so much as so stepped outside the property.
No one's gonna buy up this executive order.
His 2020 campaign did as well. It was just placed against the previous 4 years. It probably would have been enough for 2024 if this hadn't happened too. In fact the reason I don't believe October 7th was an Iranian called shot is because they aren't dumb and game theory suggests they'd rather have Biden who they use as a political pinata than Trump who will start a war with them within 2 years of taking office.
Fuck you and fuck putin.
Lmao. No. Just no.
Unless you're extinction rebellion and then everyone hates you anyway.
Wah but being mean to biden spurs voter apathy wah
I'd argue his observed positions on Unions, (as long as they're toothless), immigrants (a little human rights violation is fine), and supporting a literal genocide did that.
Also gaslighting the country about the economy while taking credit for it didn't help either. In fact that hurt him, a lot.
Obviously I have something to say. You just don't like it.
