“A thing about campaigns is sometimes you just do things for the lolz,” Rob Flaherty, a deputy Biden campaign manager, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of the decision to join Truth Social.
This guy knows what's up.
- Rob is right around my age and the millennial influence is obvious. The progressive millennials have always ran circles around their foolish republican counterparts. The memery and clowning on silly republican bullshit is effortless. When it comes to social media the right loses every time.
  No clearer evidence of that then let’s go Brandon. A true honest to god meme that the right got handed naturally. They lost their shit and beat it to death. I literally saw some loser in head to toe let’s go Brandon clothes.
  Of course it got co-opted into Dark Brandon and they ended up only improving bidens image.
  I hate that we even have to talk about political meme strategies but here we are. And there’s no one better than the dead inside chronically suicidal for the lulz millennials to lead the change.
  Let them clown on the right. They deserve it.
  
  The Brandon chant is proof that the right can't meme. The left literally out-memed their boomer humor at their own game. Lol
  
  Saw some douche in a pickup with a Let's Go Brandon banner on the rear window yesterday, It was accompanied by a chromed plastic 'FJB Edition' badge on the tailgate. Classy.
  
  Political memes are nothing new. "I like Ike" is as much a meme as dark Brandon.
- Holy shit, he really did say that.
  
  They're about to start bringing Dark Brandon back!
Expert trolling.
- A true Dark Brandon move.
I bet they're daring the platform to ban them, so they can go "Hey ... you're not trying to silence your political rivals, are you?"
“Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” - P. Venkman
- "It's true, your honor. This man has no dick."

I'm interested to see if he gets banned from truth social.
- I think ToS said you can't criticize ol' Donnie D
  So it'll be interesting
  
  If he gets banned it will be great for shutting down my dad when he pipes up about free speech
  
  Does it actually say that?
Biden’s gotta be trolling him.
- That's exactly why they joined. They said "Converts welcome" and showed video clips of Trump being more of a dumbass than normal.
I wonder if they'll be able to flag things as hate speech violations, and force the platform to take action against its own members..
- As in, flagging posts that aren't hate speech? Because I thought the hate was the point of the site.
- Ooh I like this. I mean, hypocrisy means nothing in that bizarro world but it'd still be nice to see.
Hahaha that's hilarious. Good move.
I hope the staffer running the account has a good therapist. It could be quite harmful to deal with that much stupidity.
I mean just imagine if even one person changes their vote to Democrat based on something they read on truth social, it would all be worth it.
Might as well have a little fun before it goes under.
I wonder how many democrats use that platform.
- At least one.
What about Lemmy, though?

“Old Men Yell at Cloud”
Realistically is their userbase even very big?

  these are just estimates, but similarweb gets it pretty close on the sites where i know the actual traffic numbers.
  
  Sad to see it that high.
- There are dozens of them! Dozens!
LOL. someone is reaching
- Yeah, you.
  
  ooohh ..guess you burned me good job
