The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.

    I hope nearly everyone realizes that. I can’t tell if the psyop bots have made their way here already, or if people are really this unbelievably idiotic, but either way, I can’t write off Trump winning and doing far more nefarious bullshit than ever before. He will make Florida look like a leftie sanctuary.

    I guess the mountain of bigotry, corruption, destabilizing geopolitical decision, dismantling of key government institutions, massive wealth transfer to the .1% during 2016-2020 along with the attempted coup, stacked courts, and Roe V Wade somehow wasn’t enough to convince some people that allowing Trump to win will speed run us to Gilead.

    I find it extremely difficult to believe anyone who lived through the Trump years who isn’t an idiot or a bigot could ever allow that senile madman back in office. Which is why I have to wonder if there’s some psyop shit going down. But if he does win, what little shred of hope I retain for this country will be gone and I will need to look into living elsewhere, somehow for the safety of my family.

      No they understand that letting Trump win is a Gilead speed run, they’re counting on it.

      They would like us minority and queer folks to kindly shut up and die so they can cosplay as revolutionaries and “avenge” us.

      “First Hitler, then our turn.”, a common chant of the Weimar Communist Party when justifying not forming an electoral coalition with the SPD that would have beaten the right and kept Hitler out of power in the first damned place.

      Yeah Lemmy has a lot of “power user” posters who flood the site with stuff that supports certain narratives, upvote each others posts consistently, reply to a lot of comments with copy pasted answers, and all downvote views which don’t match their agenda.

      It’s hard to tell whether it’s coordinated astro turfing, or if it’s just the kind of platform that attracts certain viewpoints and people who have way too much time on their hands. It makes it quite pointless to try and engage in most political threads because it’s just exhausting.

        Yeah I know there has been a lot of tankie traffic in the past but my instance blocked them. That crowd, in general, is fucking exhausting. This batch of “don’t vote for Biden” feels like something different. More like a good ol’ bot farm trying to swing the vote. Idk. But it may also just be like you said, where the site attracts certain views.
