Joe Biden Vows to Unify America. That Job Has Become Dramatically Harder.

The president-elect will start his term faced with the historic challenges of Covid-19 and a struggling economy, at the same time as a Trump impeachment trial and bitter partisanship and anger across the country.

So, imo, there is only one way I'm personally going to think Biden is interested in unifying America: he goes after big tech for free speech crackdowns. I doubt he will, but if he did, then, and only then, would I view him as legitimately trying to allow everyone to have a voice. Right now conservatives feel their voices are silenced. If he ignores that, he will unite no one.

I've been pushing forth this topic because, to me, this is a huge issue that needs to be finally tackled. It's nearly criminal to not address this level of unchecked power.

Although, I do admit, currently the power of big tech is totally legitimate. The debate we should be having is: should it be? Biden needs to tackle this. This is how he wins back the other 50% of the country.

Couldn't have said it better myself. If he gives conservatives, hell even moderates, a voice and a seat at the table then maybe. I ain't seeing that yet. I see silence on all available platforms and National Guard troops keeping the people away from the elites.

This clown can't tie his shoes. They'll get the same treatment they gave us the last 4 years.

Fuck Joe, fuck Kuntmala, and fuck the Democrats. They have forever earned a place in my black heart as anti Americans bent on destroying our country.....and its people. There's nothing they can say or do to earn my forgiveness. I don't need to be "united" with shit. I'm fine the way i am thank you.

The problem is, that the dems have the media on their side. They have the media so much on their side that if a conservative did the same as what they praised a liberal for, they'd spin it to be a terrorist act. Even if that action was helping an old lady cross the street safely.
The media is so very much the enemy of the people. Nothing is going to change until their abiltiy to spread lies and influence people is taken away.

He speak in nothings, the politician trick of the past before Trump. He does leave declaring cognitive issues headed toward All-timers (fuck spelling)

This cognitive departure seems honorable but means, never can be questioned on all the shit he did.

This country doesn’t want to be united. Too many on both sides thrive on disharmony.

Strange response. Both sides hate each other and most of the hatred is fabricated or at the very least fomented by puppet masters who make money from the divide (media, race pumps, politicians).

generally when people say they want unification what they mean is they want the other side to stfu and go along with their view.

OK well I for one don't particularly hate anyone. Starting to lean towards outright hatred against some posters on NYGF but general population, nope, no hatred whatsoever. What I'd like to hear from anyone on the "left" is what exactly it is about Biden that they supposedly voted in unprecedented numbers to elect. Its all a fucking sham. And many in the tens of millions know this to be the case. Just want to play by the rules. We all know both left and right that was thrown out the window this pass election.

Under who’s unification ? Take a look at his cabinet picks so far. Every fucking one of them are O‘blamer cronies. He doesn’t have one original thought in his little peabrain.
His puppet masters are frothing at the mouth with rabid anticipation of their particular brand of unity.

I personally think on the actual governmental level, democratic vs Republican is a pantomime.


They both vote to restrict our freedoms, give themselves immunity, and make their friends richer all the time.

When people realize almost the entire current government is corrupt and subversive to the people, we will have real progress.


In the meantime, red vs blue keeps us focused on each other.

Biden will unify the left. Biden will continue this attack on anyone that’s not extremely far left. His policies will not unify the country and will lead to more and more fighting.

He absolutely wants to unify America.

The same way Mao wanted to unify China....

Biden isn't in control, never has been. Control ultimately rests with "the elites" - and no, I can't identify them except for Obola and Soros. Do I really need to?

Anyone not committed to the new paradigm will be silenced, by whatever means deemed necessary by the left.

Moderates and conservatives get a seat at "the table" - seriously??? A quick retrospective of the last 16 years, especially the last 4, should put that idea to rest.

Actually, I suspect that it's worse than just silencing of one side. In my view, what the left has done is set off a metaphorical doomsday machine of sorts. I don't mean it in the world destroying sense, I mean in the unstoppable sense.

They've sort of set the bar for shooting people down speech wise. This is going to go, eventually, back and forth. Each side watching the other, like a cold war. The result will be that the device you hold in your hand will be literally just as bad as the telescreens on the wall in 1984. Except instead of just one ministry watching you, it'll be two waring ones. Whatever you say, or do ... monitored. Analyzed. Evidence constantly being gathered and reported to inflict pain at even the smallest lapse of judgement.

We already do this to advertise to people as a perfect example of data collection. Advertisers know when it's raining, and a weekend, you may be more likely to buy specific items. On top of this, when you mention certain things in social media, I would be extremely surprised if, given the pace of machine learning, we don't make use of that info to do targeted advertisement based off keywords. General trends on top of some analytics, and you've got a pretty good certainty about what someone will want to buy.

So, given how we advertise with a good degree of precision, is it that far off that we wouldn't be able to index political affiliation and then deny or approve a network of services based off that knowledge?

We may never get to that extent, but the fact that it's possible, and the infrastructure exists to do it, is absolutely terrifying.
