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.”

      Future tense. We should continue to try. I won’t judge someone who votes for Trump with conviction. The voter disenfranchisement manipulation on Lemmy is what needs to be challenged. It’s an unethical disengagement strategy, historically used by Republicans to disenfranchise Democratic voters.

          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 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.

              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.
