    This doesn’t really address my point. I understand how first past the post works (also from a country with this system), the issue is whether Biden is going to win at all. Polls say no and maybe that should be an issue?

      It’s not as these people are already crafting their excuses for why it’ll be someone else’s fault if he loses just like Trump did right before the 2020 election. Democrats want to keep the status quo of shitty politics which is why they aren’t doing anything to improve the situation and why we’re not allowed to criticize them. Just shut your eyes and mouth and toe the party line!

      Criticizing Biden on something as niche as Lemmy won’t make Biden better. But it might make people less likely to vote for Biden.

      Conservatives/Republicans don’t just try to win by getting votes. They also try to win by reducing the number of voters (whether by creating barriers to voting, or spreading voter apathy (especially towards the other party/parties))

        Oh sorry I better fuck off to Twitter then. I know Biden isn’t reading. I still have freedom of speech and can say whatever I like on Lemmy.

        You can tell me I’m helping the republicans if you want, I don’t care. Either it’s on me for expressing my opinion or it’s on Biden for sending weapons and providing political cover to a government on trial for genocide. If you want to blame me and people like me I think that says more about you than it does about us.

          Is it “a thing” to bring up freedom of speech when one doesn’t have a good argument? Lol

          I guess it does happen pretty often.

          “What you’re saying is inaccurate”

          But I have freedom of speech!

          Lol

            No it’s a “thing” to bring it up if someone says “don’t share your opinion,” super clear from the conversation.

            “What you’re saying is inaccurate”

            Yeah if you had said that it would have been a very stupid response
