    i wonder what the posts from .worlders are going to look after she loses.

    obviously they’re going to blame leftists for not voting for someone who actively refuses to adopt any the leftists platforms or ideals and i’m hoping that there will be some sort of introspection from liberals; but i suspect that the diet reddit of the lemmyverse is just going to reddit.

      What’s interesting is they won’t blame Republicans for passing laws that will help them rig elections and they won’t blame Biden for enabling Israel on its path to starting WW3. They only know how to blame the left for not being obedient.

        i think it’s worse than that; not only do they not blame republicans for rigging elections, but they also blame the people experiencing some of the results of that rigging (ie voter suppression) as lazy for not jumping through the intentional bureaucratic hoops designed to make them fail at all costs and then close their ears and and loudly parrot “vote blue no matter who” when confronted w evidence of the reality of voting outside of sufficiently affluent areas.

        i also think biden is much worse than either liberals or leftsists give him credit for. in the past, people saw him and too coocoo conservative or populist to seriously consider his presidential runs and now he’s called a progressive despite doing nothing to earn it (defense of marriage did nothing and the inflation act is being used to ramp up fossil fuel production). he was a trump like politician before trump became a politician and that had always make me suspect that biden will go along with an escalation in the middle east as is happening now.

          What are you talking about? Biden has accelerated adoption of renewable energy, expanded consumer protections against banks, frozen or reduced student loan burdens, strengthened unions, helped make healthcare more accessible (including reproductive healthcare), etc. All pretty anti-conservative causes.

            What are you talking about?

            reality; not talking points. Here are some examples:

            Biden has accelerated adoption of renewable energy,

            he’s used the inflation act to ramp up fossil fuel production to highest levels ever seen in recorded history.

            frozen or reduced student loan burden

            he literally created the student loan situation in 2005 with the student loan act; he used to brag about it.

            strengthened unions

            he busted the railroad workers strike and then gave them a pittance to mitigate political blowback. he’s also continued to weaken whistleblower protection as his predecessors (both trump and obama) had done.

            helped make healthcare more accessible

            he’s reversed the expansion on medicaid and will do nothing to ensure that the affordable care act stays alive.
