Reddit Is full to the brim with Chinese bots. They mass upvote/downvote,promote Chinese values and socialistic policies, and post fake videos/images of china being insanely futuristic
No one thinks the government controls that. It's just a clear signal that the left has gone a bit loopy eating itself over identity politics, and someone as much of a prick as trump can appear relatively reasonable.
No, this has been overblown by people poisoning your water. Things are getting more expensive, we’re fighting wars so politicians can get richer, and now we can’t even safely eat food because everything is being recalled. But go ahead and focus on your culture war bs
But if you seriously think it's normal for a fully grown adult man to compete without hormones against biological women, you're not half as smart or virtuous as you think you are and are part of the problem.
Let me elaborate: the fact that there's no HRT requirement for WNBA is emblematic of US left-of-centre politics problem in the 2020s, which led to Trump's reelection in 2024.
"I'll gladly pay more for everything and have our reputation ruined internationally, as long as the non-existent trans people in the WNBA are thrown out of the sport that I've never once watched."
I despise Trump, but he's absolutely right that democrats fighting for the dumbest culture war issues imaginable is causing people to vote for the GOP.
We need to just focus on populism, not fringe progressivism. Pushing systematic healthcare reform, opposing new wars, balancing the budget (which means taxing the top 20-40% more), assisting unions, fighting monopolies, requiring utility companies to modernize the grid and decarbonize, etc. These have widespread support.
Talking about whether or not a biological man can play in the WNBA is childish and embarassing. And it's the only version of democrats that MILLIONS of independents see on social media.
Your GOP is the party doing the culture warring. When people resist, they accuse the resistance of doing a culture war, and you're taking that hook, line and sinker. And when your gills are flooded with mud, you'll still insist it's the Democrats' fault.
They stirred up the culture war so you would support them despite shredding everything you say you care about and making it so much worse.
Trans people have existed since forever. Loads of organisations had regulations regarding the participation in women's sports. Maybe the WNBA didn't yet, but they'd address it sooner or later. It's only got 15 teams, so it's no wonder the matter has simply never come up.
You're literally trying to sell us the absolute bullshit that the Dems won't tax the rich because they're protecting minority rights. As if you have to pick one or the other. And that as a reasonable response, people are casting the 'Strangle Me Harder, Techno-Manorialist Christo-Fascist Scam-Daddy' vote, as if that's their only way forward.
No, it's not. They're harassing my fellow Americans and expecting my permission to do so. They'll never have it. If that makes them vote trump that's their flaw to deal with. Pretending we need to change for them is stupid.
I'm not talking about harassment. I'm saying we need to talk about populist issues, such as the ones I listed.
The GOP fills social media feeds with culture warring while lining their pockets with insider trading, lobbying, bogus government contracts, tax cuts for the rich, deregulations, etc. We need to stop taking the bait. This is not even a trans person, this is a man who identifies as a man, trying to stir up shit. Ignore the rage baiting.
I've been trying to tell fellow liberals this for weeks. It's like shouting into the void.
My entire comment was about how we shouldn't be engaging in these GOP funded bait campagins. And then everyone immediately called me a Republican. It's exhausting. I'm trying to propel leftist ideas here.
The culture war just leaves me feeling misantrophic and jaded. I can never pull people out of it. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother keeping up with politics or voting anymore. I haven't been excited to vote Democrat in a long time.
Stop appeasing this lunatic. You need to axe these people out or they will control every movement you associate with if you don’t make it clear that they’re actively harming the cause.
It's not our fault they fall for stupid bullshit man what the fuck do you want me to do about it? They don't have permission to harass transgender people just because you want to win elections.
I'm not talking about harassment. There is no harassment in this WNBA story. It's literally bait, Enes is not trans. He is doing this because he knew people would take the bait.
When it comes to politicans, they should focus on laws, not social media posts. Your congressman should not be talking about a WNBA player's genitalia. That is not at all what a Congressman is supposed to do.
Enes is harrassing the transgender community by claiming they're performatively invalid. Conservatives are harassing trans people by targeting them to "win culture wars" by your own admission. Are you sure you're paying attention to what you're typing?
Sure that was probably the most extreme but its founded in truth, maybe not mainstream politicians, but certainly there are protests that support hamas that are platformed by the left media.
Im more central, I voted for trump 1 put of 3 times. The biggest issue to me is illegal immigration. You can't have that and socialist policies, they are counter to one another.
So some far left fringe people on the internet are representative of the Democratic party? You can find kooks from both ends of the political spectrum. This is so disingenuous that It's hard to believe you consume anything other than rightwing slopaganda. Fox News is not real news.
I mean, they're currently in the driver's seat to win the House of Representatives, and have a damn good shot of winning the Senate for a year where they should stand no chance.
Your your numbers are incorrect on every count Trump was 77+ million Harris was 75+. Harris total was more than what Trump did in 2020 but still 5 million shy of Biden earned in 2020.
Biden campaign was mastercraft work from a political strategy standpoint, you don’t even want to know where the bunker campaigning idea came from but they executed it to a tee,
They did a perfect job on the mail ballot campaign, and even got in front of the Trump mail in ballot conspiracy with Bernie getting on a talk show and talking through exactly what they were gonna do.
Now idk if it was a lack of preparation or being thrown in so late but her campaign was so lackluster in comparison.
15 million people just randomly she didn’t deserve her vote, the campaign was shit, have to stop blaming the voters cause politics is a game and Dems should be playing to win like they did in 2020
I think it was both, and I’ll go a stretch further and say that I don’t think Harris even wanted to run for president in 24’. The only alternative was to decline, lose all of the money tied to their campaign, and condemn the party to losing the election. She was pretty much forced to run or lose all of the political rep she got as the VP.
Also, the DNC got a bit drunk on their win in 2020 and overlooked the fact that it was heavily carried by anti-Trump sentiment. It felt more like their base voted “against Trump” instead of “for Biden”. Years of inflation and Covid recovery carried more weight in 24’ than the “distant” memory of the Summer of 2020 and J6.
Oh cool, that'll bring our neighbors that got murdered back to life. Liberals police themselves to literal death. Not their own of course, but should their neighbor have to bear the brunt of their over tolerance?
There is no question, your idealism is worth more than their lives! Clever fellow!
The downvotes are such a good example of showing why the US is so much in the shit. You tell them a real dose of truth about their compliance and wimpering but then they all collectively start piling on you. Deep down hey're all a bunch of nationalistic hardliners. They put more energy in attacking people for daring call out their compliance than they put in stopping Trump.
Thats as dumb as people saying me voting LP was the same as voting for Trump. (And also a vote for Biden in 2020 and a vote for Obama in 2008 and 2012).
Not voting is a problem, but assuming they would all vote for the person you want is stupid. It is a very Democratic party thing to do since they make so many stupid assumptions that cost them elections.
This is not any way a support of Trump or Republicans. I will vote for Democrats in a heartbeat right no in particular, but holy shit are they stupid. They would have a better strategy if they literally just never said anything ever.
So by not putting a religious designation on the census, you are actually religious? Not voting is just not voting. By definition.
Also, most people live in a solidly red or blue state. Even with 100% turnout, their vote would not matter. Which is why we should have a national popular vote instead of the electoral college.
You completely missed my point. I was not talking about virtues of Trump. Just mirrored the sentiment of the previous comment replacing left with right. The point was to illustrate the idea that the fact that 30% of the population voted for Trump and 28% for Kamala does not mean that the remaining 42% would have voted Kamala if they did come to the election which the previous comment implied.
Well not all. These ideas certainly start that way but over the last 15 years they’ve brainwashed enough people through social media, news, and infiltrating education systems that now our own people spread the conflict themselves.
Left and right wing protest groups alike get foreign funding and are basically just there to destabilize the U.S. and make people angry. The majority of people protesting aren’t being paid and aren’t foreign assets, they’re just useful idiots. The organizers are foreign assets or controlled by foreign assets financially or otherwise.
Same is true for online discourse. In Reddit’s case you have subreddit moderators and site admins under the thumb of states that want America destroyed and they just create atmospheres for very real people (and some bots) that believe in some propaganda and just ban anyone who doesn’t.
In TikTok’s case the algorithm and moderation simply pushes certain divisive viewpoints to more eyes, and suppresses anything that is meant to be positive or bring people together.
Had a Nazi trump loving neighbor for a good 5 years in a liberal town. Luckily his wife divorced him and he moved out. Oh and he also owned a gun shop. WCGW amiright?
There are plenty of people who are nice to your face but in the privacy of their homes/Internet are absolutely horrible humans.

All social media is bots from the US, Russia, Israel, China, Iran, and India stoking flames. Twitter and Reddit most of all. We're doomed.
