It found that just one-third of all young Americans said they would back Biden if the election was held at the time the survey was conducted. The poll also reflects a virtual tie in the race. Biden leads former President Donald Trump by just two points, and 34% of respondents are currently backing a third-party candidate or said they would support “someone else.”
Plus, despite speculation over how U.S. support for Israel may negatively affect Biden’s youth coalition, the poll found that the war in Gaza is not the top voting issue for most young Americans. Instead, economic concerns, particularly over inflation, remain front and center.
The fact that people block ozma when this is a perfectly valid political post about a very concerning topic would be hilarious if the consequences weren’t so dire.
They’ll ignore the canary in the coalmine and then wake up after Election Day and wonder what the fuck happened. Again.
It’s not worth blocking and most of the time their articles are perfectly valid political posts. It’s just that everything that is presented always pushes a negative view of Biden.
OP has been pretty adamant that Biden will be replaced at the convention with some unnamed candidate, why does his polling matter then? They claim they’re sounding the alarm, but everyone here already knows the alarm is going. Not only that but if you try and get any direction on what to do with this information they refuse to engage and go straight to bad faith debate bro bullshit. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Making people feel worse about democracy and participating doesnt help us at all. It’s not denying reality, everyone already knows reality is shit right now. We need people willing to work together to improve life for everyone.
Why is it ozma’s responsibility to figure out how the Biden campaign should stop this? Aren’t they the adults in the room?
It’s not, but it comes down to the purpose behind the exorbitant, relentless, many-hours-per-day effort. Posting like that is aimed at achieving one of the following options:
The two are mutually exclusive, and the community tagline is “Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!” Plus rule 3 says: “Engage in good-faith”, which as others have very clearly articulated, is very much not the case for OP.
Your mistake is in assuming people are blocking ozma for their content, as opposed to their behavior.
I’ve seen a few people complain about how “everything is anti-Biden, so I blocked them.” Which is a bit like “That canary is too loud so I’m just gonna crank my airpods.” Also, neither of those links have any posts about ozma’s behavior.
No, you haven’t. You’ve seen people clearly articulate their concerns, and you strawmanned them into saying something they didn’t actually say. You infantilized their arguments into something you could dismiss out of hand.
And yes, they do. They directly respond to and address ozma’s behavior. You only have to dig into mozz and ozma’s history for a few minutes to see how much time and effort mozz has dedicated to trying to get ozma to show an ounce of good faith, to no avail.
edit: Here’s more context.
And blocks in other communities pointing to the behavior, not the content.

It’s a link to MegaUltraChicken’s comment, and it defaults to the parent comment. The fact that it’s a response directly to you should make abundantly clear that the objection isn’t “everything is anti-Biden, so I blocked them.”, or anything even approaching that.
I’ve provided links to other users making very clear why ozma’s behavior is perceived to be problematic. It’s belligerent, sustained, and littered with bad faith argumentation and deflection. The water is there for you to drink if you’re sincerely curious.
The fact that you pretend not to know what “good faith” means just reiterates the problematic behavior people are trying to get you to see in others. Maybe that’s why you’re blind to it.
Sorry, an attempt at humor.
Why would anyone block ozma? I think he’s a bit too “doom and gloom” about all this, and also is wrong that any other candidate that the DNC could put out could beat Trump. But the links he puts up are legit, and his positions do have some reasoning behind them, even if I disagree. There are other folks much more deserving of blocking.
No. They’ll blame the canary.
We saw this in 2016.
It’s incredibly frustrating seeing that we’re doing a slow march to the cliff and the Biden administration and Democratic Party don’t seem to actually care. We’re all screaming why Biden is doing horribly with voters and there’s no action. Just “but Trump”.
