    I’m so tired of people on Lemmy/kbin downvoting news because it doesn’t support their narrative. Like argue all you want about Biden staying in the race, that’s great and fine. But do you think trying to suppress news of people’s legitimate doubts is really the way to win an election?

      There is a concerted foreign effort to manipulate the election.

      We all know some people don’t want Biden again and we know the reasons.

      Posting 30 some links a day of people saying the same thing isn’t news, it isn’t informative, and it isn’t useful.

      I don’t doubt some people are saying it. But the effort is being made to make it sound like the DNC is suppressing a rebellion when that isn’t at all what’s happening.

      We do not have other candidates ready. In the last four years, not one person in the party tried to make themselves the successor.

      We have the No Labels guy and the Brain Worms guy. No serious candidates have stepped forward.

      So unless this endless tide of hand wringing has a plan, it’s fucking useless.

      As such, I do not believe mamy party insiders are trying to tank their candidate. This is foreign influence to demoralize the left, specifically to get the ‘Bernie Bro’ crowd to stay home because the DNC betrayed them again.

        Man, I was with you until Dem Congresscritters started making public statements. This is a very abnormal situation. You don’t make public statements like that unless the private channels have been tried and everything is truly fucked.

        Fact is that the foreign campaign to demoralize voters against Trump will continue - and it WILL use this opportunity for all its worth - but that’s not the same as saying that this isn’t a real and significant issue that’s come to fore.
