I’ve noticed a substantial decrease in the “Hurr durr Genocide Joe, I’m taking the moral high ground by not voting!” comments since the debate, with a stark uptick in “Biden is unfit, so I’m not voting”. It’s almost like… some sort of group or organization were intentionally manipulating the public commentary based on carefully selected and salient talking points to convince American voters to not turn out for Biden on election day… Perhaps an entity with something to gain from having Trump be re-elected? A certain plutocratic state currently mired in a years-long losing war against a much smaller and weaker foe, maybe?

Like seriously, I’ve barely heard a peep about Gaza in the past two weeks. It’s bizarre. I’m sure there are still people who care about that issue, but the vast majority of the most vocal anti-Israel users on Lemmy went silent right after Biden bombed that debate.
