It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

    Claims not to be conservative

    Quotes conservative media

    Since when has Joe Biden been marketed as a grassroots candidate? Sorry, but the 90s were like 30 years ago buddy.

    I literally just started this comment chain to troll, but now I’m genuinely worried about your critical thinking skills.

      The fuck I did! Conservatives didn’t coin that nickname, progressives did! Progressives pointing out that he was suspiciously helpful to a major campaign donor to the detriment of regular people.

      Since when has Joe Biden been marketed as a grassroots candidate?

      Since every time they’ve portrayed him as just a regular middle class man of the people friend of union workers, none of which he actually is.

      I’m genuinely worried about your critical thinking skills

      Right back at you, shitlib. Have the day you deserve.

        Your anger is futile.

        That nickname was coined by a conservative news article and outlet - go look it up.

        Politicians are always going to be depicted as men of the people. That’s not what astroturfing is… you should brush up on the term.

        I hope you have a much better day than you deserve 💛. It seems like you’re going through some stuff

          Your anger is futile.

          Aww it’s cute that you think your bullshit is crafty enough to rile me up lol. My use of emphatic language is out of bafflement, not anger.

          go look it up.

          Nope. Not going to spend the time and effort looking up YOUR claim. YOU provide a source or stfu.

          Btw, even IF it bizarrely turns out that the notoriously pro-business and anti-consumer conservatives were the ones who came up with it, that doesn’t change the context and meaning which I’m using it.

          That’s not what astroturfing is… you should brush up on the term.

          I literally defined the term for you. Unlike you, I’m fully aware of what it means. You’re acting like Vizzini from The Princess Bride with his constant misuse of “inconceivable!”

          It seems like you’re going through some stuff

          If by that you mean “wasting time and effort trying to talk sense into a Dunning Kruger poster boy”, then yeah. I have bad impulse control that sometimes makes me keep answering when bad faith arguing idiots adress me directly even though I know it’s a bad idea.

          In conclusion: you started out with nonsense and if anything just got worse from there. Please leave me alone.
