    If I was Biden and I wanted to make sure absolutely nobody under 35 voted for me, first thing I’d do is genocide.

    If that didn’t work, then I’d restart student loans.

    If that didn’t work, I’d ban Tiktok.

    Edit: To the people downvoting me: Do you think giving Israel the bombs they use to carry out genocide, restarting student loans, and banning tiktok helps Biden’s reelection chances?

    Are you republicans who don’t want him to change course? Are you democrats perpetually stuck in 2016, blaming voters rather than asking “What policies caused us to lose? What changes do we need to make to win?”

        See, that’s the kind of thing where you gotta probe; do you hate the butchers of Libya and Yugoslavia for 100:1 laws, slavery, neoliberalism, and sex crimes, or due to Hillary being a woman, emails, her awful personality and disdain for the lower classes, and whatever comparatively superficial things that get the hogs worked into a froth?

                Well liberals don’t hate the Clintons, and the left hates them for passing racist laws and supporting the prison industrial complex, bombing Yugoslavia and Libya (and sharing responsibility with Obama for all the countries the US bombed during the early 2010s, and the 2009 Honduras coup), 90s sanctions on Iraq, estimated to have resulted in a million excess deaths, mostly of children, bombing a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory, there’s a lot more, I mean he was president during the 90s and she was secretary of state under Obama, there’s so much ghoulish shit they’re proud of.

      They are the second bit. They’ve been going hard on saying anyone who won’t vote for Biden is actually a bigot who loves Trump and wants a domestic genocide.

          I think the people who will be negatively influenced by a TikTok ban - Don’t vote.

          The old people who vote. Already hate the TokTik and the ForkKnife.

              Uh huh. And do you think the young people who vote, not just talk about voting - are strongly attached to TikTok?

              I know plenty of people who will be pissed off about TikTok ban and all of them don’t vote. They don’t do fuckin shit with their lives to improve it. Why would a TikTok ban change that.

              I know plenty of people who do vote. None of them are going to pick a literal dictator because oh no - I have to get my shorts fix from YouTube or Facebook now.

                I just want you to reread this and think about how you sound to other people for a minute.

        It’s not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.
