Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came out in support of President Joe Biden amid growing calls in the Democratic Party for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.
There is a cult forming around the denial of the reality around Biden as candidate. The current working term is Blue Maga. Lemmt seems to be a kind of epic enter but it’s the exact kind of thing that when Russian propagandists found it, they were able to create The Donald.
Also note how the vote totals work. Someone makes a “don’t vote for Biden, trust me I’m totally a progressive” post and it immediately gets a ton of upvotes. Someone makes a “hey this whole ‘don’t vote’ thing is kind of stupid” post and it immediately gets a ton of downvotes. But if the post gets big enough, real people balance the vote totals out. The initial votes were just bots/trolls trying to influence the tone of the discussion.
I dont think they are bots. Unless you have direct evidence of that, you shouldn’t believe it. I think they are misguided individuals in deep denial of the reality they are in. I mean one of the biggest members of Blue Maga is the head of this sub. And its IDENTICAL to what/ how r/TheDonald formed, its just that a nation state actor hasn’t swooped in to take advantage of the latent properties that would lead to the formation of a cult.
Direct evidence is a much higher bar than indirect evidence. There’s a profusion of indirect evidence. Few of us have the capabilities to potentially find direct evidence. And even if we could, we would be expending far more effort researching than they would making new alt accounts.

That’s a dangerous tack to take.
Such is the consequence of living in a fact based reality as opposed to ones own delusions.
You get to believe a whole lot less because there is actually very little we have evidence for.
BUT!
If we have evidence for it, we should believe it.

No there isnt.
There absolutely is. In fact, I just explained it.
No, you didn’t.
You just leaned into your own, lack-of-evidence-based, conclusion that you had made previously.
That’s not what it takes to live in a fact based reality.
