But that\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n<p>Bone declared in an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/red-sweater-guy-ken-bone-2016-town-hall-says-watching-this-years-debates-like-watching-your-1536896\">interview with <em>Newsweek<\/em><\/a> that like in 2016, he is \u201cuncommitted\u201d to a candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be perfectly honest, I\u2019d say I\u2019m uncommitted again,\u201d Bone<em> <\/em>said. \u201cVery, very few people in either of these election cycles were truly undecided. They\u2019re uncommitted, which means that you don\u2019t really have a positive opinion of either candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bone became a meme in the 2016 election when he asked a question at a debate while wearing a red sweater. <\/p>\n<p>Many online took Bone\u2019s proclamation that he didn\u2019t like either candidate as that he hadn\u2019t made up his mind, like in 2016. For that he faced a torrent of criticism, predominantly, he says, from the left. <\/p>\n<p>To which, Bone said that was the kind of behavior that could drive a man to the arms of President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll morning the Trump supporters have been nice to me even though I don\u2019t like Trump. The Biden camp has been shitting all over me because I don\u2019t like Biden. Do these people really not see how much this behavior pushes bystanders toward the right?\u201d Bone wrote. <\/p>\n<p>Despite all the factors in the world right now, from the pandemic to unemployment, Bone is endorsing the adage that mean tweets are what matters the most in an election. And people being mean to Bone may, may, may just make him turn rightward. <\/p>\n<p>Which is bullshit, and Bone knows it, because further down in the thread Bone said that he already voted. (In January, he endorsed Democrat Andrew Yang for president on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I already did<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ken Bone (@kenbone18) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kenbone18\/status\/1313860117704642561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>So Bone said he already voted.

Which means one of two things. Bone voted for Biden, and this backlash is making him regret it, but clearly not enough to outright say it. Or he voted the other way and is hiding behind the notion of online decorum to justify his vote.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h2 id=\"h-the-daily-dot-s-2020-election-coverage\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Daily_Dots_2020_election_coverage\"><\/span>The Daily Dot\u2019s 2020 election coverage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>In the 2020 election, killing Section 230 is the only bipartisan issue<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The right wants you to believe Kamala Harris is now an anti-vaxer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Asked to condemn white supremacists, Trump tells them to \u2018stand by\u2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The internet agrees Chris Wallace\u2019s debate performance was catastrophic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mike Pence makes Arthur meme while meeting Joe Biden at 9\/11 memorial<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\">\n<p>                                                                                                <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gageskidmore\/33093839836\/in\/photolist-SqozBs-Rf1Mqr-RUgpdj-ShPTvr-ShPYBt-ShPQnT-RUgnn5-ShPNHR-Rf1rnR-Sfdyu3-ShPLM6-SqoyGS-Rcn557-SqoCyj-RUgo5N\">Gage Skidmore\/Flickr<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                            <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\">(CC-BY-SA)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                                                            <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/challenger23.com\">Remix by Jason Reed<\/a><br \/>\n                                <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/debug\/ken-bone-2020-mean-tweets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Ken Bone says mean tweets could drive Trump support &#8221; Bone back?
