Propagandists are so funny. It’s like…. You make shit up that can’t be proven, verified, or is otherwise even remotely realistic, and then you pretend it’s real to the point that you’re willing to argue it online with total strangers.

It’s blows my mind how this is done.

While quick math shows their claim untrue, what is true is that Biden has received over 5.7 million over the course of his career .

Which firmly places him at the top of pro-Israel donor pools.

There’s also no question that Trump is a vastly worse candidate… this doesn’t make Biden a good candidate.

I never said he was a great candidate. I simply said that propagandists seem to have it out for Biden.

Surprising they’re always silent with their criticism of anything from the right.

Ever wonder why?

Because preaching to the choir is a waste of time.

But you really don't know that there are no non choir members reading. I think the proportion of right wingers on the fediverse has shot up in the last year.

No, I don't. But we don't have proof either way. Conservatives usually get a type of sickness if everyone around them does not think the same way.

Hopefully, Halely self reflects and figures out why she is a running [get it] joke. But let's be real, she'll probably never change.
