Regardless of what your motives might be, you are contributing to the problem.
And now that I look at your post history, I see you're doing it multiple times per day.
Kindly knock it off.
What are you talking about? What problem is he contributing to?
The disinformation problem
Specifically which disinformation? This all seems factual.
To some, inconvenient truths and disinformation are synonyms.
This person isn't accusing you of the right thing.
What people are irritated with is when one user focuses really heavily on anti-Biden content as everyone else is far more worried about what a Trump presidency is going to do to this country.
Fascism looms on the horizon, and people are paying close attention to who is for or against it. They're seeing you post repeatedly against the guy running against the fascist. They're making a prescient conclusion.
I can see that concern but a couple things I think are worth highlighting (and for starters I'm not the submitter).
I and everyone else who's calling for Biden to step down are equally concerned for a Trump presidency.
We simply believe all the data points to an inevitable Biden loss, in addition to down-ballot races. Clearly Democratic representatives running tough races agree.
We can't put the cart before the horse and deal with Trump until we actually have a viable candidate first. I and many like Biden and his administration but know he cannot run a successful campaign, and again, data shows it.
Once this is settled, normal scheduled programming will resume and all focus will be on how bad Trump and the GOP is.
I made a reply here.
If it’s too hot for you, get out of the fucking kitchen.
