Eh, their new dissent orders seem to be "Biden can't appoint Harris! I didn't vote for her!" which, of course, displays a total lack of knowledge about what primaries are and what the DNC is.

They didn't want Biden to run, and now they mysteriously don't want the person most of the party supports to run either.

Right? It’s almost as if they’ve never been approaching any of this in good faith.

You're telling me someone would just go on the internet an lie?

It's a massive social hub with influence on all the worlds information. What possible motivation could someone have try to influence people by faking accounts and make bad faith arguments?

Sorry, it just doesn't add up. Now, you've interrupted me hitting myself in the head repeatedly with a hammer and this brain damageisnthgomr e

I'm seeing a lot of "wHat AbOuT A pRimArY" already from the usual bad actors.

The uptick in those types of accounts makes this site start to feel like 2016 reddit 😂. Lemmy has become large enough to justify investment of bots to brigade and astroturf; we've made it!

Someone should start a Lemmy.ru instance with communities like /c/kremlin or maybe /c/remlin

I've seen iterations of "the Democrats stabbed Biden in the back!" too many times on here over the past 24 hours for it to be a coincidence

displays a total lack of knowledge

Well we are talking about right wingers here, kinda par for the course. :P

Get ready to repeat this: "The Biden of today is not the Biden who was voted for in the primaries." Even Biden himself acknowledged that by stepping aside as candidate!
