There's also a 1:1 probability that you're a sociopath, mentally unstable, brainwashed, legitimately stupid, or willfully ignorant.

Why not all 5?

No. You're underestimating the legitimate ignorance of the electorate. Give this comment a read.

Thats a great read, and echoes what ive been seeing at my own workplace. Those who even remotely follow news (outside of Faux News) are all voting biden. Those who dont, hear that bidens old, that hes out of touch, and want trump to win out of spite for how much they hate the political climate.

That whole, "vote for trump or abstain to stick it to the man" thing is trending like nothing else. Even here on Lemmy, but esp on reddit.

TALK TO THE PPL IN UR LIFE, NOW!

And coincidentally that position favors russia. Somehow. It's a mystery.

Just follow this comment chain.

And im banned from the sub for this. Fucking terrifying shit if ur at all into democracy or oopsed to fascism.

Please spread word of this happening. On reddit this shit is far far more widespread. There, leftist subs that once prided themselves on never banning anyone will happily ban anyone who says that not voting for biden is playing right into fascist hands, even if said comment generates positive feedback!

Yup my local magat has no idea that any trials happened for the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He thinks Biden personally sent them to jail without trial.

When I showed him the stats for guilty pleas and convictions he changed the subject to Hunter’s problems.
