    It’s really weird that this octogenarian president is having trouble connecting with young voters 🤕

      It’s not about LOSING the young vote. Not voting is the default position for young people… Always has been (although each generation has gotten better about this)… The question is “how can I keep supporting genocide and still get young people to actually show up and vote?” And of course the answer is bully them relentlessly and never give them anything they ask for /s

      Pretty much saying they need a new marketing manager while disrespecting said target demographic because “they only read memes.”

    Is the thinking that Trump will somehow be better? Like holy shit how short sighted are these people? Do they not remember anything from when he was president?

      They remember, and they want it back. They’re fascists who are too cowardly to claim the label - which is impressive, as fascists are generally pretty cowardly to begin with.

        This line of thinking implies there are only two possible positions: “Uncritical support for Biden” and “I’m going to criticize genocide and I also want to let fascists rule, for some reason”. Have you thought that perhaps you’re missing a lot of nuance about what people think?

          It’s a binary choice dude. One or the other will win.

          I give somewhat of a pass to comments that say “Biden is the only sane choice, but he’s wrong for this”. Comments that just shit on Biden are obvious attempts to suppress the Democratic vote.

            Right, it couldn’t be that normal humans beings are fucking horrified at their own country enabling a genocide, and demanding every single criticism of the Democratic Party to be accompanied by “I will vote for them though” is reasonable.

              Don’t worry. Even if you tell them you’re voting for Biden, they’ll ignore it every time you say it.

      Is the thinking behind this comment that Trump being worse excuses Biden of his failures? He is losing young people by funding a genocide. Not all people are pragmatic, unfortunately.

      So either we complain about people not being pragmatic and voting for someone they have a legitimate issue with, OOOORRRR we could be mad at the president of the United States breaking the law and alienating would be voters by giving weapons to a state that has been committing war crimes for over 7 months.

      Of course we can do both but let’s not pretend the major problem is “voters with morals” rather than “president aiding a genocide”

      It’s pretty fucking basic.

        Are we all pretending Trump would somehow be better for the situation overseas?

        But hey let’s just not vote for democracy and hope it all just works itself out.

          Are we all pretending Trump would somehow be better for the situation overseas?

          Can you show me where I did that? You can even look through my comment history if you like. Didn’t happen here. Never happened anywhere.

          But hey let’s just not vote for democracy and hope it all just works itself out.

          Hey let’s just give weapons to someone we know is going to use it to commit war crimes in violation of our own laws and basic morals and hope the election just kind of works itself out.

          I agree democracy is important to protect and Biden needs to win in order to do that. That’s exactly the issue…

          …You know, if you’re solely thinking about American politics and not whether or not it’s bad to destroy every single hospital in a region and slowly starve children to death.

          Yes, they are pretending Trump will be better for Palestine.

          And all of them will go quiet when Trump enables total annihilation of the Palestinian people. Maybe some of them will find a way to blame Biden, but I think the majority of accounts will be abandoned the day after the election.

            If you honestly think saying “Biden is not good on Palestine” is saying “Trump is better than Biden on Palestine” I think you have a way bigger problem than the outcome of the election

              If you feel that a comment said to somebody else doesn’t apply to you, it probably wasn’t directed at you.

              That being said, the people who are poisoning the well against Biden, the ones who have made Palestine the only issue affecting this election, the ones screaming “genocide Joe,” their actions are going to lead to more dead Palestinians than anything Biden has done.

    I am a career memesmith, just like my father, and his father before him. In fact, I still have one of grandpappys hand-carved memes from when he was a young shitposter. Back in thise days, you used to have to place your memes in store front windows if you wanted anyone to see them.
