- Trump and his supporters are slamming Joe Biden for quitting the race and endorsing Kamala Harris.
- Some members of MAGA world are bemoaning the millions of dollars spent running against Joe Biden.
- Biden’s withdrawal also means Trump is now the oldest candidate in the presidential race.
Incidentally, there’s a bunch of people on Lemmy really mad that they can’t tell everyone not to vote for Biden anymore. They’ll tell us not to vote for whoever is going to be his replacement though.
Eh, their new dissent orders seem to be “Biden can’t appoint Harris! I didn’t vote for her!” which, of course, displays a total lack of knowledge about what primaries are and what the DNC is.
They didn’t want Biden to run, and now they mysteriously don’t want the person most of the party supports to run either.
Right? It’s almost as if they’ve never been approaching any of this in good faith.
You’re telling me someone would just go on the internet an lie?
It’s a massive social hub with influence on all the worlds information. What possible motivation could someone have try to influence people by faking accounts and make bad faith arguments?
Sorry, it just doesn’t add up. Now, you’ve interrupted me hitting myself in the head repeatedly with a hammer and this brain damageisnthgomr e
I’m seeing a lot of “wHat AbOuT A pRimArY” already from the usual bad actors.
The uptick in those types of accounts makes this site start to feel like 2016 reddit 😂. Lemmy has become large enough to justify investment of bots to brigade and astroturf; we’ve made it!
Someone should start a Lemmy.ru instance with communities like /c/kremlin or maybe /c/remlin
I’ve seen iterations of “the Democrats stabbed Biden in the back!” too many times on here over the past 24 hours for it to be a coincidence
Well we are talking about right wingers here, kinda par for the course. :P
Get ready to repeat this: “The Biden of today is not the Biden who was voted for in the primaries.” Even Biden himself acknowledged that by stepping aside as candidate!
Ozma in pieces right now…
You’d think so, but they already have moved on to “don’t vote for Harris” posts.
Why am I not surprised…
Already happening. They’re testing the waters to see what’s going to stick.
Oh I know.
I just ran into them trying to promote Jill stein in another thread lol
This Jill Stein?
Hmm…

RFK has been abandoned.
He wormed his own way out.
It’s pretty hard to argue in favor of the brain worms guy.
To be fair, though, even with literal brain damage, he’s still not the worst candidate on the ballot.
A steaming pile of Biden’s dogs shit would be a better candidate than Dementia Don, the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence.
And her past as a prosecutor, and the fact that she lost the primary 4 years ago, and her laugh. In addition to yours, that’s all I’ve seen so far. They ran “Heels up Harris” into the ground several years ago, but I do think it will make a return at some point. It was a shit insult but so are the others they’re trying to use.
Really all they have is a terrible legal gambit to try to keep her off ballots. That one is laughably bad. No deadlines have passed. The idiot at the front of the House said something stupid. I would hammer that until election day. “The Republicans did their best to keep us off the ballot because they hate freedom and democracy. They don’t want you to have a choice. And Trump endorsed Harris. Here’s the check.”
She also said something hard to understand about coconuts. Don’t forget that one. That means something or other.
Now they’re panicking and can’t decide if she’s unlikable or if she’s the “whacky aunt” entertaining everyone at the barbecue.
I went to the other place to check TFGs meltdown tweets or truths or turds or whatever they call them and I was not disappointed. He is asking for his money back because the attack ads they’ve purchased were against Joe.
Oh yeah I’ve been called a fascist already because I said I’d vote for Harris and that while she isn’t the best candidate she will be leagues better than Biden imo.
While I never told anyone not to vote for Biden, I definitely openly bitched about him not being capable of speaking and the absolute joke it is. I’m not a fan of Harris, but my God, a sentient adult is amazing.
Sorta the same here. I didn’t openly say anything and I’m voting blue but when he called Zelensky putin and Kamala trump I internally slumped my shoulders.
Everything they already pinned on Joe (like mainly Israel) they can pin on her because she was part of the same administration. Plus they will now also point at things from her past, like history as a criminal prosecutor, and blame her for that as well. Since that won’t align with progressive criminal reform agenda. And they might call her a race traitor as well, just for good measure. Should be interesting to see what the tankies and communists come up with.
Your argument is bizarre. Please explain why someone wouldn’t use “things from her past” to inform their vote. You use the word “blame” as though she is a victim of her own decisions.
I don’t know a single communist who would call someone a race traitor. That’s nuts and your anger is very misdirected.
Things from the past are worth knowing for sure but what’s important are her goals now, her administration, and her platform overall.
I’m not angry about anything. And I’m not sure where you see anger in my post (and therefore how it could be directed at anyone.) I’m making an observation based on what I see here on Lemmy. I even state it will be interesting to see what some lemmies will come up with. No anger here pal. Just observations.
is there any evidence for this claim at all?
