Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term - eviltoast

That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

    Plenty of people disagree honestly and in good faith. Plenty of people pretend to disagree while using inflammatory language meant to spur reactions, commonly referred to as trolling. It’s also quite easy for small teams and bot nets to spread to basically anywhere people gather online in order to sow anger and division to further their ends. To pretend otherwise is extremely disingenuous.

      And to pretend that is happening here with zero evidence is silly. Have you ever clicked into a comment and seen something that look falsified, like a copy-paste comment from a user, or repeating phrases from multiple users? Cause I’ve only ever seen socialists and communists complaining about Democrats, and liberals calling them, “tankies,” in return. Telling a small community on a small website to watch out for foreign actors because a small minority of comments are critical of Joe Biden is some McCarthy-esque nonsense.
