Joshua HollandThe press could tell an accurate story about how Biden's 50 yrs of legislative experience helped him pass huge infra & green energy bills through a 50-50 Senate that contributed to a robust recovery. The feedback loop of a million stories about his age leading to a million stories about polls showing that voters worry about his age was an editorial choice.
Sheeb@JoshuaHolland they could also talk about how he's happily supporting a genocide and flooding the planet with even more fossil fuels than what Trump produced. But instead they're routinely running cover for those facts.
Guess it cuts both ways, eh?
@Shebeencounter I've read so so many pieces about the yawning divide between Biden and the base on Israel. That's a well covered story.
@JoshuaHolland "Biden isn't hearing his base" and "Biden is openly supporting a genocide" are distinct claims.
But you know that. You would just prefer that the press produce campaign copy on behalf of your guy, who you should be urging to resign, not stumping on behalf of.
@Shebeencounter Hey, why don't you go fuck yourself, Sheeb.
@JoshuaHolland Sorry for demonstrating what accountability looks like. Maybe you'll internalize it one day before it's too late.
We're almost there, btw.

Mastodon is kind of weird when someone I follow is responding to someone I've already blocked. Twitter used to put up a small block saying "this is someone you've blocked", but Mastodon gives no indication at all.
Does anyone know if it's the same in all clients, or is this just because I'm using Tusky?
