The Biden campaign is trying to work its way into social media feeds. But it is struggling to win over the young, left-leaning influencers who control the conversation online.
I don’t understand, I’ve told them that I’m hip, I’ve told them that I care about their issues, I’ve told them that I’m a better choice, and they just aren’t listening. They just keep asking questions, and demanding action, and insisting on something or other, I don’t really know because I wasn’t paying attention.
Maybe I should learn one of those meme dances.
Woah woah there on the meme dances, Mr. President. We don’t need to love or even like you, but we can’t have you defending democracy with a broken hip. We need our centrist, gaffe machine to hang in there, for a few more years, to keep this country from falling to a dollar store dictator. Pretty please.
Vote. Next time for a progressive.
Is flossing still popular?
He needs to take Dark Brandon mainstream. Anti-hero is so hot right now.
“Brandon in my veins” has a flair to it.
That’s right, a good campaign strategy I think would be to tout his accomplishments such as taking antitrust seriously, a major investment in public infrastructure and instituting a minimum corporate tax level, but under a veil of irony such as through a “Dark Brandon” character so that Democrat business interests don’t get upset.
I bought the color changing Dark Brandon mug he is selling because it’s hilarious. Also mug is made in America incase your wondering
I mean, his admin could actually flex some of that executive branch power that the last 5-6 administrations have grabbed for and implement progressive policies. But hey, why do that when he can invite tiktok influencers to the White House for free?
What kind of policies do you mean? Lowering insulin costs? Student debt relief? Protecting gay marriage? Reduced-scheduling weed? Major action against climate change?
Stop being friends with the enemy, call out bitch McConnell for the pathetic evil bastard he is instead of saying he is your friend, bam instant 100 million views, say you don’t support israel… bam viral. This shit is easy. Talk about how every republican is a foreign agent aligned with our enemy russia, booom… viral. Shotgun a bud light for Trans rights boom viral. Fucking have a heart attack and die… boom viral. Get a infectious disease boom viral. I could go all day. Or just hear me out Pokémon go to the polls.
I really want to see him shotgun a bud light now.
I would Shotgun a beer in solidarity
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fran Drescher and David Cross mingled with Ilona Maher, a rugby star, and V from @underthedesknews, at a mixer meant to generate warm feelings and badly needed pro-Biden content.
And they’ve been promised extraordinary access to party officials at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August, where for the first time ever they’ll be given a special room of their own, outfitted with quiet spaces for making videos.
“It would be negligence on our part not to meet voters where they are,” said Jenifer Fernandez Ancona, co-founder and vice president of Way to Win, a group that connects Democratic donors with political strategists and has begun investing heavily in influencer outreach.
And allies’ attempts to talk up accomplishments like capping the cost of insulin or eliminating some student debt have been drowned out by liberals focused more on the administration’s drilling and pipeline decisions or increasingly hard-line stance on immigration.
“They’re inviting a few people to the White House, they’re doing dinners,” said Grace Murray Vazquez, vice president for strategy at the social media marketing agency Fohr, which said it did work with the Biden campaign in 2020 but has not been contacted to do so this year.
But the mood, at least for some, soured after about a dozen attendees received surprise emails inviting them to the White House, setting off weeks of contentious accusations online that they and other pro-Biden creators were “feds” paid to shill for Mr. Biden.

In order to go viral you must offer something that people want, Biden does not have that
You can’t fake it. It has to be natural and authentic. Like Bernie’s grumpy mitten photos.
Like that’s just who he is, rather than him being a hard.
