Lol we are so deeply fucked.
I don’t believe so. There are far too many people, in the US, that aren’t brainwashed simpletons. The fight for freedom will continue.

As we get closer to the election, and more people start paying attention, that ‘53 out of 100’ will be higher.
…I have no idea how you would even begin to resolve the issue.
For now, we must encourage all of the younger people to vote. The younger people are, understandably, frustrated by the current American political system. It can be changed with more participation over time. Doing nothing (not voting, etc.) just worsens the problem.
The far right GOP knows all of this and makes it difficult for anyone to vote. They use tactics such as gaslighting in order to cheat their way into office.
Is it the average American news sources messing with people’s minds that much?
I’d estimate that 98% of American news sources are either very biased or straight up propaganda machines. I can only rely on National Public Radio and The Associated Press.
Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.
Labeling Joe Biden as a ‘fascist’ is name-calling. Whether or not he is, truly, a fascist is not what is being addressed here.
Beehaw is a space that strives to be(e) nice apart from the thousands of Internet spaces that could care less.
…staff here defend these people from criticism.
Show me where Beehaw staff have defended anyone from criticism.
The subject at hand is name-calling. It is not nice.
The subject that you keep reiterating is current events and politics.
Do you understand the difference?
Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.
That’s what we, at Beehaw, don’t want. It is not nice.
This is a ‘soft warning’ about name-calling. Generally speaking, name-calling isn’t nice. Please, be(e) nice when using Beehaw. Thank you.
Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out.
Yes, but it is targeted at the uneducated/uninformed.
