Rephrase: Butthurt Trump Minion Creates Smoke and Mirrors in an Effort to Distract From His Lord And Savior’s Treason Trial.

Did he roll up in a clown car immediately before this?

It's to hurt his chances for re-election. As opposed to promoting what they're good at, Republicans attack their opponent. Democrats do the same, just to a lesser degree. Although, Republicans attack high controversy topics with no evidence just to generate general outrage.

Does anybody really have to attack a pig for stinking of shit?

Cool, nobody likes Biden anyways

Apparently Lemmy likes him. Funny, I thought lemmy thought he was a right wing fascist and senile.

Apparently Lemmy likes him.

I don't know how you could get that impression given the existence of lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear.

I thought lemmy thought he was a right wing fascist and senile.

He is definitely right wing and senile, but I wouldn't quite put him in the fascism camp. Imperialist on the other hand, sure.

.world, which last time I checked has more or a similar number of registered and active users than all of those combined ABSOLUTELY love him. You can't say even the most innocuous and well-documented things critical of him in its communities without being downloaded to hell.

Even !workreform@lemmy.world will bristle at the mention of him violating the rights of the rail workers to strike for a better deal, forcing them to take the crap deal corporations offered.

My point was that a sweeping generalization like "lemmy likes Biden" is silly because:

A - It's a sweeping generalization

And

B - There are large communities here that hate him

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well judging from the votes on this post, hes very well liked.

[–] PizzaMan@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A single downvote? That is what tells you that Biden is well liked?

Why would that be your litmus test for popularity when you can easily google his current popularity (which is at 40% approve 55% disapprove)?

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Im seeing 8 downvotes vs 2 upvotes. I wonder if federation is having issues.

What do you see?

[–] PizzaMan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

On kbin it is displaying 1 upvote, 1 downvote. It seems lemmy has a tendency to miss some comments/votes. I appologize for not considering that first.

Still, the votes on this post are a poor test of Biden's approval/disapproval. Instead you should look at the actual polling. I think if you were to actually ask the 8 downvoters, they have done so because this post is just silly. Because again, nobody likes Biden to begin with.

Don't know about senile and definitely not a fascist but yeah, he's on the more conservative end of neoliberalisn (a center right to right wing ideology) which by definition makes him right wing.
