    Nah, I just watched his “come back” interview with George on ABC News. Biden isn’t dead yet but he’s absolutely sundowning. I would give his performance a grade of C (A being the top grade, B being second best, and F being the worst grade).

    Biden has no vitality, and as far as Biden is concerned a desperate underclass and wealth inequality aren’t even a thing. Biden is grossly out of touch.

      Arguably the President’s chief job is not to execute the law of the land, but rather to inspire hope. He is too tired to be able to do that. But nothing is perfect, and he does keep trying, and we gotta respect that effort at least:-).

          Okay but… at this point, how much of Reddit comments are not just straight-up Russian troll farms, or people who have interacted with those for so long that we could not tell the difference?

          Whereas we have tankies on Lemmy, but they are different, and we also have some non-tankies as well.

          Most people with a conscience have already left Reddit behind, unless there’s a really good reason otherwise (e.g. nursing subs and other emergency services).

          So I guess I’m saying, would those people have voted for some other Democratic candidate? Or do they just want to complain and serve up their word emo-vomit as “content” on Reddit, which the latter keeps rewarding them for doing no matter how irrelevant it is to irl?

            They’re not bots, for sure.

            I no longer have an active account on reddit but I read it from time to time using the Stealth app.

              Oh some aren’t, for sure, but then when their words are copied verbatim they become so, unbeknownst to their original writers. So yeah, they aren’t “all” bots, but some are.

                Of course if you’re going to wax philosophical, what’s the difference between us and bots if we are both programmed? Maybe a bot is 100% driven by their programming while a human is 99% programming and 1% genuine creativity and intelligence that just slips through the cracks in our programming on occasion when we get particularly honest with ourselves.
