Buddy, lemme tell you something, if you know anything about politicians and how they get their news. It's a lot slower than you realize.
Biden knows what's going on ahead of time because his attention is there. Bernie might've been getting this as hand-down info for all we know. Plus, he's probably gathering up quite a stockpile of claims backed by facts to use against Israel.
You don't think, do you? Idiot.
It’s a deluge of the commenters who totally aren’t russian shills but just coincidentally happen to be spreading the same messages (don’t vote! Both sides bad!) in the run up to a presidential election. It’s just the darndest coincidence.
It's also people so lost in the sauce they can't see reality in front of them.
Check out this argument I had recently on lemmy. I was saying to someone that voting is important, even if we disagree with Biden on some very important issues, because abstaining is as good as voting for Trump.
And this person, who I think is the owner of the entire instance they're registered on if their username is anything to go by, repeatedly and aggressively insisted that voting can never accomplish anything.
Reviewing their profile showed they're pretty consistent in this belief. They seem to seriously think the ONLY option is violent revolution, and nothing short of that is worth a thing.
On Lemmy? Do they even know this place exists? Not exactly the world's most popular social media network here...
Oh yeah - scroll around they usually dig a couple of pockets in each thread about the “pro genocide party” and other lifted russian mad libs.
Yea, Bernie just kicked off an investigation against Novo Nordisk regarding price inflations on medication (over $1000) when it costs ~$300 in Canada and Europe (I'm fudging the figures cause I cant remember). The man's only got so much time in the day
