Has anyone checked on ozma?

The accounts on social media platform X have since been banned.

Ah dang, it was just focused on Twitter. Nevermind.

The campaign to keep Biden as candidate when its clear he is going to lose is the pysop.

Fostering party disunity on the left helps their boy Trump far more.

You've lost your god-damned mind.

Biden's polling is in the low 30s. He's lost this election. If he's the candidate or you support him as candidate, you are arguing in favor of Trump.

Disunity? Biden is the source of the lack of unity. You can't just bludgeon people into supporting your clearly failed cause.

This attitude of YOURS is why we are in this mess.

The race is still damned close.

Biden was a fine president in my opinion, and this impulse to throw our best chance with a proven track record under the bus because of one bad debate boggles the mind. Such a position only serves to help Trump.

Every personal criticism against Biden is also applicable to Trump only in a far worse and more dangerous way.

Wake up.

If you were a nation state actor that would benefit from another Trump presidency, why would you look to replace Biden, who has for all intents and purposes already lost this election?

Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia: They all want Trump to win and Biden as the nominee.

You'd know they all want Trump, you're doing their work for them. What is it about the US you hate the most? Is it the freedoms or something else? Does spreading propaganda for Russia pay well?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Well I think you want Trump. You are doing everything it takes to get him elected.

I wonder if we'll see less traffic here

I wonder if centrists will ever stop feigning McCarthyist paranoia as an end-run around having defensible positions.
