To all of you worried that Biden's support of genocide (or whatever words you use to pussyfoot around the issue) will cause Trump to win the upcoming election, I would like to remind you most of these students are most likely not on Lemmy. If Biden wants to win an election, he has to do things that will get people to vote for him; not simply cry Trump exists. I'm so sick of this fearmongering tactic; the man is literally trying to turn off their preferred form of information while stomping on their other first amendment rights as well.
Is it asking much for you to actually be a candidate worth voting for when your biggest opponent is Trump? So much skirting around the question
Uninformed teenagers are no different than uninformed adults.
Trump tells Israel to "finish the job" in gaza, while Russian operatives and provocateurs try to convince kids that Biden is the worse choice

He says many things. Trump also ended a few wars in the region as well. Trump has a better record in the Middle east then the last two Democratic presidents (one big bomb versus 100,000s of deaths). Bringing up the Middle East for the US presidential election is a negative point for Democrats (unless you want to go back to Bush who left office decades ago).
Trump is still out of jail because this current government is that incompetent.
Do you mean George W. Bush in 2009?
Yes, I counted one of Bidens or Trumps terms twice as a mistake.
Exactly. Simply existing as the lesser of two evils isn't enough anymore. You actually have to do things to get votes.
Or is that what he's doing? He's just not trying to get the youth vote and is trying to pull conservative boomers by shitting on Gen Z and "owning the youth"? "See I can piss off the left just like Orange Jesus!"
Especially when both of them have already won that office (and neither deserve to be reelected).
