    Bingo. And they think people are falling for that bullshit. More than likely what’s happening is they’re all just bullshitting one another without even being aware of it.

      Sadly, the way the electoral college works, they only have to convince a few thousand people in key states and it could swing things hard. Trump has a basically bulletproof lock on his base, so this kind of Biden bashing is only going to pick up to try to sway people who likely aren’t paying that much attention. The right is throwing everything they can at this election. It’s worse than 2016 when Trump was a wild card. They are more organized and dangerous this time.

        This is important. Our system is so fucked that the only votes that matter are a few thousand people in a few swing states.

        Let that sink in for a minute. A few thousand people, in a country of 340 million, will decide if we have a boring, mildly effective hypocrite as president or a raging racist rapist bent on our collective destruction. I’m not telling people to stay home, every single person who is able, should vote for Biden. But 99% of our presidential votes are meaningless.

        The electoral college has got to go. Reminder that the last republican to win the popular vote in a presidential election was George W. Bush in 2004, and that was almost certainly because of 9/11. Extreme right-wing ideas are not popular with the majority of Americans, but the system is set up so the crazies get to grab power anyway. Minority rule is the antithesis of what this place is supposed to be about.

          it would be a shame if a bunch of conservative voters in those swing states just had sudden, untimely demises before the election.

      The point is to keep a rolling discussion. If people see something enough it enters the zeitgeist. As demonstrated when I introduced some nuanced memes to the meme community’s and was immediately banned.

      The troll farms know how to control the discussion and lemmy is just another the_donald but now they let past the filter some discussion because they need an audience before they can subjugate them.

        How funny! I was just permanently banned from that same community this morning for disagreeing with one of their trolls. And yet, said mod was recently in a discussion about being fair and moderating civility.

        Meanwhile, they allow all sorts of accusations and bullshit from the far left.

          Then shitposts banned me because I was “spaming” but it was all original content designed to be just as provocative as any other meme. Even more so with the response i got.

          When told to slow down on the posting (after I asked if I could diversify my accounts to make it look like it was coming from unique sources) i posted one final meme 30 mins later. And that was spamming.

            They don’t want to be disagreed with here. This is what happens when you allow teenagers to moderate communities.

                I challenged the mod that banned me- told them that the mod logs show their bias…. and I was told to get “anger management.” ROFL!
