Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

Don’t worry. Once Trump’s back in, the Democrats will suddenly notice we’re in a recession. We’ll start seeing it acknowledged soon.

Dems showed last election they're not even willing to promise concessions to their voting base, so if you can't actually do anything to help people afford groceries, how can they use the economy to campaign? Just go "Trump is terrible for the economy! We're gonna be good for the economy"?

Yep. They really seemed to believe they could gaslight us into thinking the economy is thriving. But you can’t trick people into forgetting that they’re hungry, and food is unaffordable.

What the fuck are you talking about?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Food unaffordable, homeless rate at record highs, a struggling job market, etc. But the Biden team insisted we’ve been doing better than ever.
