The 45+ crowd will vote for him because they support isn’treal and are afraid of Drumpf but I think we’re going to see a massive drop out of young voters. Probably too with the people who already don’t vote to begin with, namely service workers who are fucked over either way with D’s and R’s....
Can’t wait for the endless think pieces about how young people are conservative
Oh, god. The NYT all by itself will publish scores of op-eds, think pieces, and even articles “explaining” the phenomenon. And all them will be high up on the homepage.
I thought about going into the thread and pointing out that Biden didn’t even have Trump’s guy at the USPS, Louis DeJoy, shitcanned. What’s the point of giving Biden/dem political power if they won’t even make a minimal effort to use it? But the Bluesky libs usually won’t engage in any meaningful way. It can be a liberal HOA over there.
It can be worse than r/politics. There’s no downvote button to make them feel smug and superior as they downvote or comment-lecture. They usually ignore me or are a bit obnoxious. Others block or mute me. I’ve only been at Bluesky a bit more than a month and already 100+ people are blocking me and plus an unknown number are probably muting me.
fascists can get things done while liberals are constantly stopped from accomplishing anything
You must vote for the dems! How could you not? They have better ideas and they are better people!
It’s a West Wingian view of reality.
I usually can’t even hate watch MSNBC anymore. The network usually fails to me laugh and it only makes me angry. Libs on the net have Trump derangement syndrome. But tv and pundit libs 24/7 have it dialed up to 11. And there’s no mention at all ever about what the democrats will do to combat fascism. Voting is the be-all and end-all.
I like parts of Bluesky. But I’ve been wondering how many liberals view voting for Biden as some kind of litmus test. And they actually unironically believe in horseshoe theory even if they are 100% unaware of the term.
how smug and insufferable they are about it.
I’m going to have to avoid a lot of political threads because there’s no point in talking to them because far more often than I expected - that’s their exact attitude. They are having a lovely brunch at a lovely eatery as they talk about how vital it is to vote for Biden to save democracy. This is the most important election of our lifetime and - oh my goodness - who is this?
Hey, everybody! I’m a dirty dirtbag leftist who posts comments that prove I don’t understand how politics works! Trump would be worse? But how about right now? You can’t really expect me to be pro-genocide. Can you? Can you really??? Hey! Where’s everybody going?

Biden is toast with people under 45 isn't he?
