President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

ā€œJust like we drew it up,ā€ Biden posted on X alongside a photo of ā€œDark Brandon,ā€ the meme created by hardcoreā€”and very onlineā€”supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.

The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas Cityā€™s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

        Vote third party down-ballot by all means, because alternatives need a wider base to start taking more of the spotlight. However, the current voting system is a devilā€™s bargain. If you refuse to play the game, you lose anyway.

                Just popped in to say-

                A throwaway vote canā€™t be suppressed, because it doesnā€™t matter one way or another. Itā€™s like adding a grain of sugar to a family-sized chili recipe. Itā€™s irrelevant. So go ahead and drop it in thereā€¦. It isnā€™t going to make the slightest difference.

                No one is trying to suppress your vote. Youā€™re not a victim here. Now youā€™re free to respond as you predictably will- Iā€™m not going to argue with you and get any more comments removed or banned from any communities. I said what I said for the benefit of anyone reading along, and not to engage with you or your attempts to bait people.
