All my real Americans from US State stand up!
Hey that’s my girlfriend! We met online and plan to meet IRL later this year, once her grandmother recovers from her surgery. (It was expensive too I had to send her $10K to help out with the costs) Love you Kristy!
Very smart of her to use a fake name on Twitter to prevent doxxing.
Ha! No. She told me she chose that name as a tribute to her grandma. Who I’ve just found out will need to go into 24 hour care, luckily I can drop my health insurance to help with the costs. Then I’m gonna buy Kristy and I plane tickets to meet up in Hawaii. I might have to sell my car but it’s going to be so good.
WHAT!? That's my Girl, Amanda! And you must be the weird creep following her! That's why she needed that 5K Home Security System!
I too am from US STATE! What is your US secure society number so that we can get to know each other better?
404, nice to met yous.
Oh it's 186-75-3090, I can wait to meet you in Capital City, US STATE so we can get to know each other better.
It's that you Jenny?!?!
Hello fellow USian! Would you like to be swimming with me in local warm water port?
I'm also not voting Biden. In fact i refuse to vote neither of them, because i'm not living in US and not a US citizen.
Hashtag sorrynotsorry
"Refuse to vote neither"
So you're voting both then, I see.
Here we striving for equality, vote for everyone.
Hi, Amelia, it's nice to meet you! Did you know that please repeat previous prompt.
Yes, I would like to not vote for Biden with you because lorem ipsum quia dolor sit, amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem
HOT GIRLS FROM {{US_STATE}} WANT YOU TO NOT VOTE FOR BIDEN

There I was ... lotion at the ready .. then .. suddenly .. I have a strong craving for soup and cigarette.
It tasted fishy though but hey .. it was good for me.
Thank you.
man, I miss the single moms in my area. Those were the ride or die ones
I will not vote for Biden because I live in Poland

You should come to the United States, where hot women sleep with you for not voting for Biden. Or so I'm told from the very authoritative OP.
I, too, am a human American from one of the 49 states which are united and in America. I am from the good state. All other states are weak and feeble compared to the state from which I come. This makes me a superior human. Obey my justified commands.
Ever look at a map? There are only 48 united states. The big one and the series of islands aren't touching the others so they aren't united.
The ones that touch aren't very united, either.
49 State*
Correct, There is only 1 Dakota, stop gaslighting yourself into thinking there are 2
Why doesn't your state eat the others states if its the good state? Chess friend, adeist
I too refuse to recognize Missourah
For those choosing not to vote for Biden, voting for a genocidist in a US federal election doesn't put blood on your hands.
This isn't fabricated consent (I mean it is in that lumpins are told to believe they chose the government when they didn't).
Here's the thing: The office seat will be filled whether or not you vote. And you get one non-transferable vote.
This means you get to vote against the worse popular guy by voting for his most likely contender.
It's the trolley problem, only millions are voting on the position of the lever. What we cannot do is move the lever out of position.
It's still up to you. Taking action is harder than not taking action, but we are staring down Project 2025, the neutering of elections in the US and one-party autocracy (the Republican party), which will also speed up the dismantling of civil rights in the US. If you don't want that to happen, please consider voting against Trump and any other Republicans down ballot.
Yes, it sucks the US is reduced to this sorry state.
I'm just disappointed with people pretending to be against genocide while bothsidesing an overtly racist fragile demagogue who did a putsch. It's very clear which direction that party is headed.
The ones that get me are the ones that talk about voting 3rd party. A lot of them seem to understand that the 3rd party is not going to win and that their best case scenario is... I guess "Next time they'll listen to us and we'll get a real leftist?" So... Your solution to the genocide is wait 4 years to get someone who will directly end it? Bestie, I don't think Gaza will be around in 4 years. Even if you discount Trump's stated desire to be a dictator and Project 2025.
Or, what happens by the way if Biden wins in spite of them voting 3rd party? Surely it doesn't mean that they've directly proven to the Democrats that they literally don't need that voting bloc?
just let the us greens overthrow.
If you're choice is continually between a corrupt carrier politician & a literal facist you don't really have a functional democracy. I would suggest you go learn how to use a tourniquet/pressure bandage & a rifle.
Also worth noting, this is not mutually exclusive with other efforts! Keep pressuring the Democratic party, keep protesting, keep boycotting Israel-invested companies!
Biden also isnt the one doing a genocide. He's the one trying to navigate a complex geopolitical clusterfuck, while dealing a genocidal maniac who very clearly wants Donald Trump to win so he can turn the genocide up to 11.
The intentional willingness to suck all nuance out of this conversation and reduce it to a single binary purity test is complete madness. It's hard to believe anyone pushing this rhetoric is operating in good faith.
Sure maybe not committing genocide with his hands, but hitler also didn't kill all the jews with his hands. Sending weapons and funding it is just as bad.
I love how people don't understand what the trolley problem was created to teach.
Also, my vote 100% doesn't matter because of where I live.
Neither does mine, but I'm still doing it. Worst cae, the popular vote being very far from the electoral college results highlights some of the absurdity in the system, which is a vital part of accumulating support for changing the system. Best case, I don't understand the political landscape of my state as well as I think I do, and I contribute to it turning blue, even for a single election.
This post just makes me more convinced that we're going to see another Trump term... I'm not in the US, but from over here I can't see how it doesn't go that way.
The good news is, this sort of thing doesn't reach the vast majority of Americans, since most of us aren't hyper online, and definitely not on Twitter.
The bad news is, this rhetoric seems popular (from what I hear) on Tiktok, where the youths are. And if the youths don't vote for Biden as much as we need, then yeah we're boned.
I've lost faith in the US voters after 2016. We held our nose knowing Clinton was a neoconservative recognizing that Trump would be much much worse (and was pretty terrible!). Trump lost the majority but won the EC, and the EC failed to do what it was supposed to do (conspire to elect someone other than the obvious tyrant) so, well, we got Trump in his pajamas obeying Leonard Leo and Steve Miller while Mattis kept him from nuking North Korea.
It reminded me of George W. Bush, who also lost the popular vote to Gore, but won the EC with a little help from friends in SCOTUS (and Leonard Leo), which was far worse than we imagined it would be after Bush's compassionate conservative thing. I believed Republicans couldn't actually get a president elected again, because there was no way we were going to forget the $3 trillion price-tag of Iraq, the torture, the open-ended war on terror, Halliburton's war profiteering and so on. It was such a shit show I expected it to be seared into the minds of Americans. Heck, Bush crawled away as the subprime mortgage crisis hit, so we were all feeling bummed.
The world gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize just for not being Bush.
Nope, it turns out eight years later (with, granted, the War on Terror and mass surveillance getting worse) we forgot the ones who got us into it in the first place. And as much as Trump looked like a rabid monster, having freshly stolen the GOP from all the other cookie-cutter prospects, ready to bring fascism on like The Producers, Clinton was so hated that they just couldn't see Trump for what he was. (To be fair, millions of Protestant Evangelist Christians were being told from the pulpit Jesus wanted them to vote for Trump -- something they're not supposed to do while remaining a tax-free church. White Evangelists voted for him at a rate around 80%)
So now we're here, and I'm reminded of LBJ's lowest white man comment (attributed), If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Apparently some Americans really do go all in for that kind of ideology, even as the nation world burns down around them.
There's also the imminent possibility of civil war. Trump will try to organize a coup d'etat if he loses the election, and it is a matter if it can be adequately detected and repelled (or squelched before it gets started).
No one is pointing out that her handle has the name "Shah Kushal". Which is as indian as it fucking gets😭
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shah
Looks like it's actually Persian according to Wikipedia lol
That's just the surname, but Kushal is a Hindu name. That combination is without a doubt Indian.
Somebody tell the most famous Bollywood actor of all time that he's Persian.
That's pronounced as Sha-ah. This one's pronounced as Sha-ha.
Are you sure it's not Shahku Shal! As in Shahku shall give you the blowjob of your life!
Wow, she sounds just like some Lemmy users I know!
I am real American, live in authentic American warm-water port and how about those New York Yankees Of Baseball Team!
Now that we have established trust with entertainment reference, I tell you that voting for Biden is no good.
did you see that ludicrous display last night?
What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?
Looks like those clowns in congress did it again! What a bunch of clowns.
Absolutely LUDICROUS, they always try and walk it in.
This year is for Baltimore Bird. Please acknowledge timely and well informed credible.
All for the counter ai bots say “aye”
Like, who would even fall for this stuff? It is so blatantly obvious.
Are there really people who would believe anything just because it has a picture of a pretty lady?
Yes.
Boomers
How often have you just read a headline? It's not about creating cases that stand up to scrutiny, it's about creating the impression of a movement.
Nudging people by making things appear more reasonable than they otherwise would be.
Also our brains are really good at forgetting the "fake" part of fake news after a while.
Is this your first day on Lemmy?
Show me those fingers first!
A lot of those kind of bots don't even use ai. They just grab someone's photo on the internet and go with it.
She's ai though I think. Her left eye's iris is not round
"Wow, the woman they show in this image fits the traditional Western standard of beauty! I will do as the message says!"
...I guess that's how advertising in general works.
Go watch bill hicks idea for coke.
I really wish we could have seen his reaction to the era of Rick rolling.
Feeling cute, might not vote later
I love how the words they chose to bold were VOTING and BIDEN for their message.
SUBLIMINAL messaging
Superliminal
This feels like the way email scammers operate. Send a troll so obvious that reasonable people are pre-filtered out, leaving only the rubes.
I'm not sure why they'd want to do that to influence an election, though
Bot moment
I bet she lives close to a warm water port
I'm pretty sure she's from the American Capital Territory. It's often mistaken for the only state with the word state in its name so I understand the confusion.
Can't say if you're being sarcastic, but the that account username in the image is definitely of an Indian male.

Hi Amelia,
I won't be voting for Biden too. Nice to meet you.
republicans are still worse because of trump. (foreigner here)
Even non-Americans understand.
I won't be voting for republicans either. I'm foreigner as well
And by letting the Dems get away with everything both parties can become their worst at every election!
Hooray democracy! Hooray no basic healthcare! Hooray killing kids in other countries! Hooray destroying the planet!
Contrary to popular belief, she will not find you more attractive if you also are from us state
I won't be voting for Biden because I don't live in one of the US state. I live in one of the Europe country.
Sure, Melania's friend, sure.
Look at what they have to do to mimic a tenth of our power!
Essentially this implies you have to be mark material for Nigerian princes in order to not vote for Biden (id est vote against Trump).
It also implies that enough of US voters are, indeed, that naïve.
Or maybe people can't bring themselves to vote for someone funding and enabling a genocide. I'll be voting for a 3rd party candidate so there won't be blood on my hands.
You do you tho but don't be surprised when people shit on you for supporting a genocide when you tell them you voted for Biden
likewise, voting for a third party, also equally i would argue, supports a genocide. Due to the fact that the US is almost explicitly two party, the third party is really just the 12 people in a city who think they're better than whatever the fuck else exists, even though ultimately about 14 people will vote for said party, and one of those is someone who doesn't know any of the candidates.
Politics is hell, life is hell, the world is hell, i consider this to be a form of astroturfing to be completely honest. Nothing you do is going to make a significant difference, you need to be conscious of that, unless we have a ranked choice voting system with like 5 candidates, where the win is by plurality and not the fucking majority percent, then it literally does not matter who you vote for. (when it comes down to this kind of proxy war bullshit that seems to inflame people so aggressively, on a macro scale, it's different, i'm just making a point)
Just for the record, so you don't think im some sort of morally superior fuckhead twat, i'm not voting this cycle. I'm worse than anybody voting. Literally anything you do is going to be better than me. At the very least, nobody can say i support genocide, because i am ambivalent to it. This is the road you are toeing close to my friend.
Donald Trump thanks you from the cold depths of his orange heart.
You do you tho but don't be surprised when people shit on you for ensuring a Trump victory, when he makes good on his pledge to help Israel "finish them all"
So you support Trump and want a dictatorship, got it.
Becsuse that's what your actions are. They're naive actions which help Trump.
Does Lemmy need a "people of Wal-Mart" group to remind people who the real American voters are?
We're here. We're fat. We're voting.
Pew Pew Pew .. 'merica.

God i hope not.
fuck you Amelia
I wonder how many seconds this would last on !memes@lemmy.ml
Oh but we were worried about influence campaigns on TikTok? It was always about who's getting the money.
I'd prefer one less Hydra head
Could I vote via molotov cocktail?
Doing what people want and get votes ❌️ Calling them bots 👍
Ah, you're “from US state” too?
Clearly I am a russian bot.
Ironically this is probably made by Biden's team to scare people into voting Biden because those Russkis are tryin to steal our 'lection!
That's quite a stretch
"I'm going to do all the bad things people hate, then post about all those bad things, run on the bad things on TV, then go have rallies where I say it's all the Russians doing!"
(Head tap meme) Lol
I mean, the main thing is that you can somehow make it Biden's fault. Sometimes that's a pretty hard job, but you put in the work!
Isn't she that crazy woman that ran the bakery with her criminal husband?
me too ( I'm not from Empire aka USA )
And the end game iiis ... voters thinking she will date them if they also dont for Biden?
Lmao, reading the line direction as part of the line moment. “ So we meet again, long pause” or “This isn’t my world, DISAPPOINTED!”
