President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.

The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

      Vote third party down-ballot by all means, because alternatives need a wider base to start taking more of the spotlight. However, the current voting system is a devil’s bargain. If you refuse to play the game, you lose anyway.

        a third party vote is just an indirect vote for republicans and their fasciastic fetishism.

            sounds like the kind of thing someone would say if they were trying to suppress the vote.

                this is mask-off telling people not to bother voting for their candidate.

                    if on election day, an hour after teh polls open, everyone calls the election for cornel west, and people say “you can vote for one of the genocidal maniacs, but it won’t matter. they can’t possibly win”, no one would characterize that any way except voter suppression.
