    I didn’t say third party votes would’ve swung it. I said third party and the people who stayed at home instead of going to vote, because they’ve read “don’t vote genocide joe” spam online and it carried over even after Joe stepped down and Kamala tried running.

    Just make people apathetic about the vote. That’s it. That was the Russian strategy, because that was the only way Trump would win and Trump winning was the only out left for Putin in regards to a lot of things.

      One way to avoid such criticism is to not participate in Genocide. It works pretty well for me.

        Oh so, now that Trump has been president, he’s clearly done much more to stop the genocide, right?

        It’s not like pretending that these delusions are real has ever been a part of Russian disinformation. Nooo sir. Never ever. Actually, Russian disinfo doesn’t even exist. And if it does, it’s definitely not on Lemmy. Amirite, вахтера?

          You’re putting a whole paragraph of words into my mouth that I did not say. All I said was that it’s quite easy to avoid being accused of genocide. All you have to do is not commit genocide.

            Oh, so Joe Biden has committed genocide? So you are saying that the president of the US has the power to stop the genocide of Palestinian people, and “Genocide-Joe” just chose not to use that power?

            But then… why haven’t I seen any “Genocide-Donnie” spam, because Trump has been president for a while now and still is refusing to stop the Palestinian genocide?

            Or could it be that the president of the US doesn’t actually have a “stop genocide” button on their desk and perpetuating the delusion was eveyone who spammed “genocide joe”, believing in it or not.

            So its not quite as simple as you make it out to be, is it?

              Yes.

              So you are saying that the president of the US has the power to stop the genocide of Palestinian people, and “Genocide-Joe” just chose not to use that power?

              Maybe not quite as simply as you put it here, but also yes. Israel doesn’t make their own Iron Dome.

              But then… why haven’t I seen any “Genocide-Donnie” spam

              There were a ton of protests, have you not been following his fascist takeover of universities across the country and his illegal defunding campaigns that are specifically about silencing dissent on the genocide in Gaza? Have you just completely missed that?

                “Biden has unequivocally committed genocide by not ending a genocide being committed with his magic ‘end genocide’ button!”

                “The US president doesn’t have the power to simply just ‘end a genocide’, it’s not as simple as that.”

                You get to pick one, not both.

                What was it I ended my last reply with? Yet you pretend it was definitely black and white and that’s the reason for chanting ‘don’t vote Genocide-Joe’, instead of it being a part of Russian disinfo campaigns. Which are very well documented by the way.
