In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of “taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses.”

      No it didn’t. Those protests are driving the change we keep seeing in the news, and I applaud them for it. They wouldn’t do anything but get arrested and vilified if Trump were in office, as he said in the posted article.

      [Biden is] ”taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses."

        I don’t think Macklemore is on Lemmy.

        We can offer evidence and opinions, but people are gonna vote as individuals, as they should. Motivating others to vote for Biden was always going to be an uphill struggle because of his age, but with the ongoing genocide… whew… it just makes people defensive and hardens their resolve to defend their position.

          That’s fine. Healthy debate is good for the democratic process. Biden certainly has flaws. I personally see many more in Trump. The point is, people should vote, and encouraging others to abstain is disingenuous and unethical.

          As for the genocide, Biden is currently pulling away from Israel and Trump literally just said that the US should do the opposite in the posted article. That’s not really an argument.

      That’s a map.

      We’re discussing voter manipulation and encouraged disengagement of voters.

      Stop being dense.

        It’s a map of potential voters that conceivably won’t vote for Biden. Which is entirely relevant because despite the success of swaying voters on Lemmy, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to overall disengagement.

        The point- When Biden loses in November, it will be erroneous to blame it on the small number of voters on Lemmy. The blame will rest on Biden and the DNC, not the small numbers of voters on Lemmy.

      I’m sure centrists have some conspiracy theory for why the genocide they supported for so long isn’t as popular as they wanted it to be.

        The one in Ukraine? Those tankies seem to be FINE with it.

          We haven’t been sending weapons to Russia in order to commit genocide.

          Thank you for the demonstration of exactly what I was talking about. Centrists can’t imagine that Netanyahu’s genocide isn’t as popular with everyone else as it is with centrists, so they have to pretend that there are tankies behind every rock.
