Biden is pathetic

It’s just a matter of time before it falls into the swamp

No she didn’t. She’s just saying the same thing since the convention. It would be nice if she would commit to following US law and state there will be a halt to the weapon shipments

I read the article and can’t believe someone could read the same thing and come away thinking, “this guys sucks.”

Won’t make any difference because it does nothing to address the actual reason behind the housing crisis.

This also applies to much of the left. It’s because the US is an oligarchy and doesn’t have representation that is proportional

Much of Lemmy saw Trek TOS when it aired

He is literally aiding war crimes, Biden, that is.

In general I believe all online communities are toxic when it comes to political discussion and just enable cult behavior. I think both Facebook and the fediverse have the ability to sway options, but at different capacities.

Facebook is simple and easy to use, and because of that it’s widely adopted and you make connections through people you (kinda sorta) know irl. This leads to a false sense of security and can poison your bubble of connections.

With vote manipulation, whitewash communities, brigading, bots, and general anonymity, the fediverse is not any better equipped to deal with “alternative facts.” It being more niche and less user friendly weeds out some people, and you are left with a user base that has slightly more education and decision making skills…but no one is completely immune to manipulative tactics. Bots with agendas are not always easy to identify and continue getting more refined. It’s easy to lose track of the push & pull if you are chronically online…which many fediverse users are.

I don’t have any solutions other than attempting to educate on how to spot misinformation and approach ideas critically. Even with doing that it’s far for 100% and that number keeps declining with age.

Lip service before the election…

There is a lot to be gained by politically astroturfing, and that is already widespread in the fediverse

Let it happen, nothing of value will be lost.

Have they thought about building another temporary pier? /s
