This is right up there with those shitty Trump memes where they shop out his turkey neck and paste his body on Schwarzenegger
I know, it should be Bernie Sanders.
Because America will totally vote in a self-described socialist.
Unironically yes, increasingly. I know Lemmy is very leftist, and thus doesn't reflect America in general, but the more time goes on the more left each generation becomes, and Gen Z is by far the most leftist generation in America currently. Gen Alpha will have to wait and see, but for now America is more likely than ever before to vote for Bernie.
America has had socialism = satan slammed down their throats for over a hundred years now, it's not going to change any time soon.
Those people are dying out, which is more to my point.
Quite a few people in your country think Biden is a radical leftist, you’re dreaming.
Increasingly fewer people do.
Trump got more votes in 2020 then 2016, so what were you saying?
That's blatantly bad-faith, Biden got more votes in 2020 than Hillary did as well. Voter participation was far higher.
Hillary didn't run in 2020.
You're telling me voter attitude is changing, I'm showing you the concrete proof it isn't.
Back up your feelings with some facts.
I didn't say she did. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Hillary did in 2016, because voter turnout was far larger in 2020. Increasingly, Gen Z is more okay with Socialism and actually prefers it over Capitalism, something unthinkable for Boomers and Gen X.
Those aren't facts.
Facts are that Trump got 10 million more votes in 2020 then 2016 which disproves what are you arguing.
They are facts. And, facts are additionally that more people voted in 2020 than 2016, and Trump lost both the popular and electoral vote in 2020.
Are you a bot?
Trump did lose but he had the strongest support he ever has.
Interesting question about me being a bot. Are you?
Is that why you keep doubling down on your narrative without adding anything to the conversation?
Yep, and his support is and always has been a minority.
More than Bernie Sanders though.
It's 2023 and trends have trajectories. This may be difficult to understand.
I guess.
One day the Canucks are going to win the Stanley Cup too.
But could they just not think?
They've proven over many years that not thinking is the default state.
sad lol
