Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.
I feel like I’m saying this every day…
His supporters only care that he’s a racist.
They don’t care about his record.
They only care that he’s racist like them.
They also like his “Christian values”… AKA banning abortion
Like higher infant mortality? Poor education?
I think for a lot of people, the economy was better during Trump’s presidency than Biden’s.
These people are ignorant to the fact that Trump inherited Obama’s economy and could literally coast for 4 years and the economy would not change.
He left Biden with a shit show post Covid which also included a massive tax cut for corporations and the wealthy which in no way would pay for itself.
You keep saying it every day to people who upvote you at a 100% rate. I don’t think your message is ever received by anyone who disagrees. My question is what’s the point? This is a waste of electricity.
p.s. also all trump supporters are quickly banned on lemmy

And you go down the thread posting shit like this. That’s also a waste of electricity. I guess humans are just wasteful. 🤷

Weird to see a website actually uphold it’s rules on transphobia, homophobia, misinformation, and not being a fascist fuckface, huh?
I say it to people who are trying to understand why Trump has a following. It’s not because he’s smart or a great businessman.
It’s because he’s racist. I love Jon Stewart but his message of trying to help liberals understand Trump’s acolytes misses the mark.
We don’t need to spend more time debating why people like him.
People like Trump because, and I say this again for people who missed it the first time, he is a fucking racist.
p.s. also all trump supporters are quickly banned on lemmy
Tell me you don’t understand how Lemmy works without telling me you don’t understand how Lemmy works.
Is this true? I lean more conservative and will probably vote for Trump. If saying that gets me banned, that’s crazy but I doubt I would. I’ve followed the rules here
Can you please, please, stop posting the same political content over all fkn communities on this platform. What the actual point of the entire fediverse being one tiny jerk circle?
Can you please stop posting the same political comments every time? Everyone knows you’ll only post anti democratic comments and your little circle jerk is getting old
Agree, it’s getting old!
It seems like you don’t quite understand how federated services work.
Here’s a quick primer on how you can improve your federated internet experience.
You could also continue to complain about things you can easily fix, that is also an option.
Given your replies so far you seem to be looking for something a bit less echo-chambery (or as i suspect a chamber where the echoes are more to your liking)
Luckily this is entirely possible and relatively easily achievable, have fun.
You misinterpreting your love for an echo chamber with me wanting a different echo chamber.
Yes, lemme block Videos@lemmy.world, Pictures@lemmy.world, Memes@lemmy.world, actually, anything lemme just block @, cuz I don’t see any other way out of this.
It’s easier to whitelist 3 active communities than selectively block anything. Those would be a german meme community, a europe community, and a world-news community. Everywhere else top upvotes posts are “trump bad”.
I’ve been blocking US-news infestation in all subs for like a month now. I keep having 10% of my “All” tab filled with “trump bad” posts that have a 100/1 upvote ratio. I already blocked the guy who posted this vid. Before even commenting.
Why don’t you post some positive content about trump?
Let us know when you find some.
That, actually, seems like a fun exercise. I’ll get downvoted to hell, but lemme do a bit of fun.
posted this vid into this community. Let’s see what happens. But, FYI, the video runs exactly like the one posted here.
I, unfortunately, even think the jokes are pretty funny.
I understand in both cases it’s quotes takes out of context.
Well, duh!

I don’t particularly think his supporters matter, as they are mostly sheep and not one of the main facisim roots.
It’s the fact that more than half of America’s entire media apparatus is entirely behind Trump.
They dominate airwaves and have entire control over several local information ecosystems allowing them to brainwash entire populations with wall-to-wall propaganda that is completely aligned in its message of refuting and obfuscation of reality.
Regardless if the people are racist, scared, simple minded, trained to blindly accept specific authority or whatever is mostly irrelevant in a society with journalistic integrity, and a non-corporate/private interest owned media.
It’s no surprise that some people believe outrageous, impossible claims when every reality authority available to you exclusively tells you lies.

Reagan’s FCC overturning the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 is to thank for this. He and Nixon oversaw an incredible amount of societal and governmental sabotage. Quite the legacy.
It’s so much worse now, with these corpo propaganda outlets pretending that both parties are legitimate political parties representing people and not just fundraising/grifting organizations.

Kamala should out the fairness doctrine back in its place, hell, add it to the constitution. I know this will require Congress too, well, get it done.

Yeah, mainstream media is shitshow atm. ABC news fact checked Trump’s BS during that debate and people lost their minds. Why? Because truth doesn’t matter? Now CBS refuses to fact check because they are cowards? They are the GD news. Their job is to literally inform the public of the truth.
It really feels like we are literally watching civilization flushing down the drain and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They did do some fact checking tonight. Not sure it matters overall, based on what you said. Reality can be ignored and rewritten.
Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve said it before. Misinformation exsits in all information. You will be hard pressed to find any common distributor of information to not have any errors. The thought that you can simply be fed only truth with out having to think critically is a fallacy. You can blame the media for existing but you can’t make it not exist. It’s people, who have principles, ignoring those principles because we’ve allowed that to be accepted behavior in the states.

Yeah, I haven’t heard of ANYTHING Harris. Yes this guy keeps showing up in all my feeds

It’s very interesting that you think his supporters are sheep, and all people around you upvote you at a 100% rate. (you received 0 downvotes after calling at least 40% of your countrymen sheep).
Coincidentally, his supporters on their social media post how Kamala voters want the end of the country. With a 100% upvote ratio.
Now, tell me, if I’m an outsider with no horse in this race, and no way of objectively measuring the reality by living in the country of question, what should I think?
While you gather an answer to that question, I’ll be of an opinion that 100% of Americans are complete morons and sheep because they’re unable of having any reasonable democratic process or a political discourse for two years every four years (cuz it’s “election” time).

“Sure, you all call Heaven’s Gate a cult, but everyone in Heaven’s Gate says they’re not a cult. How am I, an outside observer, supposed to know who is right? Clearly everyone but me must be morons.”

Living in the country of question is not necessary for an objective evaluation.
Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I see your getting down votes. This crowd doesn’t like to be called out. Americans are sheep. We buy what we are told to buy; we eat what we are told to eat; we believe what we are told to believe but this isn’t unique to America. We definitely do need to do better in our politics. It’s evident every day when there is an unnaturally orange man on the TV and there isn’t a line of Karen’s sitting in front of every courthouse asking to speak to a manager.
Anyway…
