Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Our President understands the grave threat this movement poses, and will do everything in his power to fight for democracy , right after his nap.
You’re gonna get Trump in November, so cheer up buttercup, how could it get any worse? /s
Well, I was hoping he'd be pushed aside and we'd somehow get a better nominee.
It's the last thing I have to hope for.
Better? Sadly, that’s not gonna change anything. The neo-commies have pushed a lot of the lefties to the “not voting” mentality. Which, as designed, creates a Trump win.
That fella from Florida actually seemed worse
He’s 2028
Naw, Trump will just refuse to leave office and cancel the election.. What? It's an Official Act, so he's cool....
“Presidential Immunity”
I love how lefties are always blamed for dem losses. It couldn’t possibly be the democratic party’s fault at all for anything.
A lefty isn’t a lefty if they are willing to let it slide right because they’re sad their options are poor this year.
That’s called an accelerationist. It’s what happens when far left or far right people give up trying to change things in a traditional way, and focus on pushing society to the brink.
Lemmy (and to an extent all social media) is a breeding ground for accelerationist thinking. Most of the comments here are focused on leftist gategeeking in order to persuade them to think in that way.
I don’t see how lefties are sliding right at all.
The only job of the Democratic Party is to get votes, if they are not courting votes from demographics they need, that is 100% the party’s fault and no one else’s. The options being “poor this year” is a massive Democratic Party failing.
If the election this year is as dire as dems are claiming, why aren’t they doing a better job?
I didn’t say THEY are sliding right. I said IT. Meaning the government.
If you ever really thought that was an option you're far more optimistic than I.
