But bothsidessame? Right??

[-] Seraph@fedia.io 60 points 4 months ago

I literally can't tell the difference! They're the same picture! /s

[-] SleezyDizasta@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Biden, or the left at large, isn't immune to criticism just because Trump, or the right at large, is worse. Biden, the DNC, and the American left are pretty bad right now and deserve criticism even if Trump, the GOP, and the right are much worse. Saying both sides are bad doesn't necessarily mean they're equally bad.

Chips act, drug control prices, non competes banned, green energy, going for Roe, student debt reform, weed, PACT act, etc, etc, Get outta here with that ~~bothsidessame~~ oh he tried the "left pretty bad" instead.

But it's very important that it always happen during election year. Just in case the Republicans have it too hard.

  • Left image is a canned PR message from an intern who input "Write a generic Presidential holiday greeting" into ChatGPT

  • Right image is an actual post from the literal actual guy, probably while he takes an enormous dump on his gold-plated toilet.

Biden's account gives you some generic superficial squishy pablum totally unreflective of the person wielding power.

Trump's account give you the raw red-meat deranged inner thoughts of their most racist online uncle, grasping at the levers of power once again.

I understand how the second bit would turn you off of Trump. But I cannot, for the life of me, imagine any kind of enthusiasm for the first bit. It's just... nothing. Absolutely devoid of feeling or intention. Low grade ad-copy, like the person writing it could not give a single shit as to whether it was looked at. And the fact that the candidate himself is this dead fish do-nothing flop doesn't improve things.

One is a peaceful message of unity to every citizen. The other is... not.

The hell are you on to think that's a canned message.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I love morons on this app implying this Biden tweet very obviously written by one of his staff is somehow representative of his superior mental state.

At least Trump is honest enough to be senile in the open, but you all run circles around trying to convince yourselves that Biden isn't 3ft in the grave. Own it, admit you supported a sundowning genocide supporter

[-] freebee@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

they are both very near the grave. Age is not really a determining factor this election is it now? Neither is genocide support, they both are. Then I'ld say any resemblance of sanity is the one factor to choose.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 48 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The most tragic thing about this is the effort that it now takes to listen to the other side. Each post is on a different network. People won't be faced with the other side's message because they literally don't have the app to do it installed on their phones.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

I've seen everything Trump posts on Truth Social despite never having installed the app.

I also don't have Twitter but I see a lot of those, too.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

I have neither app installed on my phone and I've never felt better.

[-] Taohumor@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Maybe don't ban people for opposing views and actually have the spine to have your views challenged.

Echo chambers are brain damage generators

[-] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 45 points 4 months ago

That only works when everyone is participating in good faith.

Call it tragedy of the commons or sealioning, but the unfortunate reality is a lot of online โ€œdiscourseโ€ is only interested in distracting, confusing, and exhausting you.

[-] pupbiru@aussie.zone 10 points 4 months ago

also the paradox of tolerance

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 21 points 4 months ago

Today on "treating online social interactions the same way you'd treat in person interactions is censoring conservatives!"

Nothing narcissists hate more than when you realize you don't actually have to keep dealing with them and their shit.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 months ago

Which harmless opposing view got Trump banned?

[-] I_Clean_Here@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

It took a bit more than opposing views but sure

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 46 points 4 months ago

They call them ReTruths?

I literally canโ€™t even.

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

This is how Trump should have done it:

๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ… Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists ๐ŸŸฅ๐Ÿ‘น that are trying to destroy our Country ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ” that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ“ฐ to push for a mentally disabled Democrat ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿค• over the Brilliant ๐ŸŒŸ, Clairvoyant ๐Ÿ”ฎ, and USA LOVING โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Donald J.

Ong you turned them into a cat you sicko

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Reminds me Britney Spears would make an equally qualified President as either of those numbskulls

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

"It's Britney Bitch" would make a good campaign slogan

[-] Titou@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 months ago

Kinda ironic seeing Trump calling Biden as a "radical left marxists" while Biden as nothing to do with socialism at all, he even support cuba embargo.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Anyone left of Hitler is a "radical left marxist."

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

Clairvoyant?????????

????????

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Heโ€™s a witch!

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Do I really have to look at my fellow Americans? They're not pretty.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

I feel like a rational and sane society would recognize the one on the right isn't worth elevating for a comparison.

Or it wouldn't brook anyone willing to compromise with it.

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

You are correct that we are not a rational and sane society.

[-] 33550336@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

When trump says about "left Marxists", I see far left Marxists in a brighter light (not you tankies, fuck you).

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

I automatically read it in the Joker's voice. It just works.

[-] HEXN3T 9 points 4 months ago

..Did he actually Truth(tm) that?

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago
[-] HEXN3T 1 points 4 months ago

I'm not even surprised. Zombie.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

One side wants people the best regardless of what they are.

The other just wants to see others suffer.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Can we talk about the implications of "retruths"? Sounds a lot like "Alternative facts"...

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Can't believe people were seriously claiming this app was controlled by tankies a few weeks ago because a genocidal sundowning pensioner has suddenly got this ENTIRE platform clamouring to defend him because they can't bring themselves to realise how badly they fucked up by ever allowing the petulant child-sniffing freak to ever run in the first place.

This man is all yours. He enabled a genocide and oversaw the largest attack on your civil rights in a generation without anything but a few tweets, but you'll all cream over a very obviously PR-written tweet versus a man who runs circles around him only because he also hasn't succumbed to his own mental degradation yet.

[-] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

Politics to America liberals is all about optics and aesthetics. No substance. They have been shown to effortlessly swallow genocide so long as the accused is "presidential" and "civil" and "someone you could share a beer with". Never-mind actual, substantive policy issues that actually materially affect Americans.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It's even worse, though. They've all seen the emperor without his clothes - barely able to form a coherent sentence whilst his aides scramble to keep him from mentally deteriorating into a coma before November. Yet I'm watching liberals convince themselves that his PR-controlled twitter is somehow evidence that the president is not only lucid but competent.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Ah, I see the problem. The punctuation is wrong.

But as who we really are , fellow Americans.

FTFY

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

It's a sentence fragment either way, but otherwise the colon is fine.
