Honestly they're not wrong but now is not the time. Pulling Biden now would be political suicide. In 4 years Buttigieg will be ready for prime time and then you can have your proper primary for "next-generation" candidates.

There are probably two black people in this entire subreddit.

They can't even keep their propaganda straight.

They say that Democracy is on the ballot and that project 2025 is the end of democracy, but Mayo Pete has to wait until 2028 to run?

Don't pick Mayo black-people-in-South-Bend-hate-me Pete as the example, cmon their bench is deeper

Ok but Democrats can't say that if Trump wins democracy is over, but also say "oh all the good candidates are waiting until 2028"

Like which is it? Democracy is dead if Trump wins, or we'll just try better in 2028? It can't be both!

That subreddit used to have threads where only people who proved they were really black (including showing mods picture IDs lmfao) could comment. They always had a very different tone from all the other threads.

Keep laughing. In 4 years, this mayo will make sure your trains run on time.

It was mildly heartwarming to see so many people in the comments not having it

I wonder how old spoutible is doing nowadays

What is happening on that sub? The blatant astroturfing is incredible, even r/politics has more subtlety

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The strangest thing I have seen is /r/inthenews a previously unheard of sub, suddenly and repeatedly catapulted to the front page. You can guess what 100% of the content is.

The only minorities I know who are vehemently pro Biden are Lockheed/Fintech types.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

If you don’t support Biden, you are ableist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-semitic, imperialist, and pro-apartheid. It’s simple as that.
