You're viewing a single thread.
If I was Biden and I wanted to make sure absolutely nobody under 35 voted for me, first thing I'd do is genocide.
If that didn't work, then I'd restart student loans.
If that didn't work, I'd ban Tiktok.
Edit: To the people downvoting me: Do you think giving Israel the bombs they use to carry out genocide, restarting student loans, and banning tiktok helps Biden's reelection chances?
Are you republicans who don't want him to change course? Are you democrats perpetually stuck in 2016, blaming voters rather than asking "What policies caused us to lose? What changes do we need to make to win?"
It really doesn’t seem like they want to win
Pressure Biden to do the things he needs to do to get elected. Voters are gonna do what they're gonna do. You cannot shame millions of voters into taking an unpaid day off to vote for someone who has told them through his actions that he does not and will not represent them.
Trying to silence such analysis just helps the DNC maintain the delusion that they can win while standing up to the very voters they need instead of doing what they are telling the democrats to do.
Nobody is saying the captain needs to be replaced, we're saying stop sailing directly towards those fucking rocks. No matter how hard we paddle, Biden cannot win the muslim votes he needs if he is facilitating genocide of muslims. He will not get the young votes he needs if he bans tiktok after restarting student loans.
Nothing we can do can change this. Only Biden can.
What I don’t hear are realistic solutions to the problems
Stop sending Israel the tools to carry out genocide. Problem solved. This is the only way you can make a credible argument to muslims that trump would be worse, because you are no longer facilitating a literal genocide.
Forgive all student loans. Yes, this is realistic, the Department of Education studied the problem and said so. Problem solved. Dare republicans to undo it. This is the only way you can make a can make a credible argument to young people that you actually want this thing and if they don't vote for you, republicans will make it worse. You can't credibly make that argument when you're the one who restarted loan payments and you've only undone a tiny portion of the harm that caused via forgiveness.
Order military hospitals to provide abortion care and free contraceptives. You're the commander in chief, you can do that.
Order the military to destroy the child drowning fence along the rio. Again, commander in chief.
You act like TikTok isn’t a mouthpiece for the CCP
But that's irrelevant, tiktok is popular. Banning a popular thing in an election year is a dogshit strategy to get reelected.
Well, instead of saying that, maybe you should be saying, “If you think Biden is bad, wait until the great orange dictator takes office. He already has family talking about flipping Gaza real estate.”
You have learned nothing from 2016, and are bound to repeat it.
Actions speak infinitely louder than words, this isn't a problem messaging can solve.
’ll hold Biden accountable for his transgressions
Pure comedy gold. You're both delusional. Me too, thanks.
Work to do away with first past the post voting in your state yall.
See, that's the kind of thing where you gotta probe; do you hate the butchers of Libya and Yugoslavia for 100:1 laws, slavery, neoliberalism, and sex crimes, or due to Hillary being a woman, emails, her awful personality and disdain for the lower classes, and whatever comparatively superficial things that get the hogs worked into a froth?
Right wingers hate the Clintons, but for the wrong reasons.
Well liberals don't hate the Clintons, and the left hates them for passing racist laws and supporting the prison industrial complex, bombing Yugoslavia and Libya (and sharing responsibility with Obama for all the countries the US bombed during the early 2010s, and the 2009 Honduras coup), 90s sanctions on Iraq, estimated to have resulted in a million excess deaths, mostly of children, bombing a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory, there's a lot more, I mean he was president during the 90s and she was secretary of state under Obama, there's so much ghoulish shit they're proud of.
They are the second bit. They've been going hard on saying anyone who won't vote for Biden is actually a bigot who loves Trump and wants a domestic genocide.
noooo not the cringe app! everything but the cringe app
yes, ban on tiktok is a net positive
It's not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.
ByteDance has said they won't sell, and the US audience is <15% of their monthly userbase.
We'll see, I suppose. I'm highly doubtful at the moment.
Do you think banning tiktok increases or decreases Biden's popularity?

The democrats cannot win an election without young people.

I know plenty of people who will be pissed off about TikTok ban and all of them don’t vote. They don’t do fuckin shit with their lives to improve it.
I just want you to reread this and think about how you sound to other people for a minute.
i will support whoever nukes bytedance datacentres
First they came for TikTok..
tiktokers aren't a persecuted ethnic minority
this is so funny out of context
Were socialists a persecuted ethnic minority?
Already they are planning to hinder open hardware (RISK-V) as it could help China and will certainly attack foss software as well.
I'm sure you understood my point.
