Almost as if the US democrats where assholes through and through (still better that the Republicans, before you accuse me of supporting Trump).

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol nah, just Russian bots acting like Americans. "Biden is too old, we need anybody else in order to beat Trump!", "Kamala is too black/isn't manly enough/isn't black enough/is too womanly to beat Trump!"

Or maybe they'll push the angle that " was pushed down our throats by the political elite so vote third party/Trump to teach them a lesson!"

Not everyone critizising the DMC is a russian bot. 🙄

Sure, some of them are just galaxy brain cynics whose only political participation is actively sabotaging democratic outreach efforts because they like the way their farts smell.

There is a difference between being critical when it is warranted, and doing literally nothing besides that.

What's better? Smelling you own farts, or drinking the Kool-aid that the US has a functioning democracy?

Any propaganda in favor of the DMC which tries to sell them as anything but the lesser evil is just insulting your intelligence.

The non-bots criticizing the DMC are helping usher in fascism and they know it.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, criticizing a supposedly democratic party is the most fascist thing one can do. /s

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If the only alternative is a fascist president and the election is a popularity contest, then we need to win the popularity contest and we can squabble afterward. THis is something repugnicans do so much better than us, rally behind, and we really need to do that right now. En masse

I don't think that noting that both sides are bad but one is the lesser evil will make people vote for Trump.

This community is literally nothing but propaganda.

We can't verify anyone's identity online to see if they are russian trolls due to the anonymising nature of the Internet so we instead have a look at their content and user history and make a decision based on that

Usually trolls act like trolls

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

Right, and the important distinction is that's all they do. They go into political communities and agitate. They don't talk about dogs or games or ways they are opposing Trump. Pretty much all they do is attack Democrats.

What do the Russians have against DMC?

[–] wreel@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it was never tricky to rock a rhyme.

Don't they also love their Adidas?
