I see the campaign to suppress the Democrat vote is in full swing.

The only thing that gets Trump elected is people not voting. Whether the GOP or Putin, this is somebody's propaganda.

You can see a comment from the OP talking about how he used to have 2 million karma on reddit.

It's honestly kinda sad to look at, like when you see those documentaries about hoarders or other people that have wasted their lives away to some nonsense but are so committed to it they can't even understand that it's not a good thing.

Also the central premise "I can't possibly be a shill! I was active on Reddit" has a fairly obvious logical flaw

[–] GladiusB 13 points 9 months ago

It's still really early. I agree everyone needs to vote. But I hate how it feels like Christmas advertising for a year solid and if you know what you are going to vote for it's really overwhelming to keep up with it all.

A big part of getting Trump 1 elected was their much more effective promo campaign on Facebook. This morning I opened Youtube without being logged in, and 2 of those initial 6 videos it showed me were weird no-name channels showing some sort of presentation of Trump being heroic, "organically."

It'd be weird if they didn't have at least some small section of their operation devoted to finding where the leftists hang out on the internet and posting lots of "don't-vote-it-doesn't-matter" material. It's literally something one person can do in spare time between other things.

They aren't the same, but they both suck. The orange one more so than the other.

[–] WidowsFavoriteSon 58 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yes, both are exactly the same /s

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan -3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The same in how inadequate to do their job they are

Yeah it was so weird I was just sitting there with my legs open and he came in and told me to sit up and gave me $136 billion in student loan forgiveness

I said "no you need to punish me daddy" and he said what's wrong with you

"What's wrong with you, man? We don't do that kind of malarkey here."

My judgement is that he's still kinda bad, but also probably the best president the US had in decades.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I dunno if he trumps(heh) Obama for me.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Obama was more charismatic but more moderate, less progressive.

[–] whenigrowup356 16 points 9 months ago

I think Obama's personal politics were actually much more progressive than those of Biden. It's just that his theory of governance seemed to revolve around taking the positions of moderate Republicans and then starting with those as his own position. He thought that would be taken as a meaningful step towards compromise and give him partners across the aisle.

Instead, that meant that the old moderate position became the new left position, and his opponents could move even further to the right.

At least he unintentionally provided progressives with a lesson on how not to advocate for policies going forward.

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'll take Obama any day. I could afford rent and food then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure if Obama was allowed a third term today you'd still be paying out the ass regardless. Trump and Covid wrecked a lot of things.

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair 0 points 9 months ago

Mostly being facetious. However, it was nice having a president who could complete a coherent sentence. It's been nearly eight years since we've had that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

He's alright. Top 50% of presidents, at least. Probably top 25%, considering our track record.

[–] captainlezbian 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Change for the better will not come from above. Unionize and arm the proletariat. And vote for the one who isn’t a fucking fascist

[–] return2ozma -5 points 9 months ago

I mean, they're both fascists in their own way...
