r/whitepeopletwitter was originally created as a response to r/blackpeopletwitter, which initially focused on people posting tweets from black people, focused on issues and opinions unique to or emblematic of the lived experience and concerns of the black community.
This began to devolve into a good deal of posts highlighting negative stereotypes about black people and r/whitepeopletwitter was founded basically tongue-in-cheek, with many posts highlighting 'white people problems' type posts, ie, to show the kind of disconnect many online white people have due basically to their much greater likelihood to be financially secure, their much lower likelihood to deal with significant violence, police brutality, discrimination, etc.
That was all nearly a decade ago and now here on reddit and lemmy that plot has basically been lost entirely, with the current ruleset this may as well just be named /twitterpeople or even /twitter.
Again, the original idea was to kind of showcase or lampoon twitter posts from white people that show they are significantly privileged and isolated, out of touch, that sort of thing.
Can't wait for this People Twitter to devolve into what happened to White People Twitter, and Black People Twitter on Reddit.....From subreddits that consistently gave me a belly ache from laughing so hard, to non stop identity politics chasing the current trends from never ending news cycles.
Reminder, ozma was banned from one other sub for a while for specifically seeking out the worst news he could find about Biden and posting a never ending stream of it.
This or this are places to find good overviews as opposed to just finding the worst news possible at any given time.
It was “due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith.” The frequency was a factor but by no means the proximate reason for the ban.
I don’t really agree with that being the metric, but that was what it was for.
It seems reasonable that Trump would get a boost in polls from surviving being shot/ nicked on his ear. My hope is that this is a transient effect, and that Trump will say and/or do many stupid things between now and November that will trash his chances at being elected dictator.
He is still a danger to any women who looks like his daughter that he keeps saying he wants to fuck.
I guess republicans love the incest and child rape combo.
He still won't take responsibility for things he is responsible for and claims responsibility for things he has nothing to do with.
I still wouldn't trust him to do any job whatsoever unless that job was to sound like a complete fucking idiot anytime he opened his mouth because he is really fucking good at that.
Now? Biden has been losing in swing state polls since January. The debate was supposed to move the needle in his direction. That's why all this talk about "oh his debate performance didn't affect his polling" is so infuriating.
Correct. It didn't move the needle. He's still losing. He needs to go.
Hilary was kicking ass in the polls back in 2016 too. I feel better seeing the rapist with 34 felonies up in the polls, it will inspire more Democrats to vote and when Democrats vote, they win.
VOTE, volunteer to give rides for people that can't make it to vote otherwise.

Idk I guess I have too much faith in people to not vote for a felon, rapist, pedophile, racist, fascist, narcissistic, man-child who has a third grade education over a dude who is just slightly older than that piece of shit.
Just because a piece of shit got shot at, doesn't make all his glaring issues go away.

I admire your optimism, but 2016 did happen... I have less faith in humanity than you.
At some point, you’re going to realize that your faith is badly misplaced. It’s just a few thousand degenerates in the swing states who will usher in the end of the Republic.
