    Just remember that during the 2016 election, the “If not Bernie, then Trump” bros turned out to be Russian interference.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just Russia trying to split the Dem base.

      Ever wonder why it’s rich media companies who are screeching from the rooftops that Biden is old and needs to step down, while AOC, Bernie, and all the actual progressives are standing behind him?

      This is a revolt of the ownership class against Biden’s proposed tax hikes. Nothing more. And Leftists are falling for it hook line and sinker.

        Two issues with Biden:

        1. A lot of people on the left disagree with his policy on supporting Isreal on Gaza.
        2. He’s acts like a senile old man when he’s communicating. Yes maybe he’s still clear headed. But the low information voter who doesn’t really pay attention to politics will see his saying “I trust my VP Trump” and automatically just vote for the person who doesn’t seem like they belong in a nursing home.

          Doesn’t matter. Media will push their narrative, and sheep will eat it up. The media has literally doctored videos of Pelosi back when they were trying to push the “she’s senile” narrative because they couldn’t find any good clips of her saying dumb things.

        That might be the catalyst, but it’s very much more than that: it’s a power grab. The ruling class has amassed so much wealth that they want to do away with some limits to what they can do with it and Trump will let them if they help pay his bills or just agree that he doesn’t need to pay any bills.

          Three things can be true

          And also a certain amount of understandable panic because he really did shit the bed pretty bad in the debate, which is then fed and amplified by dishonesty from the other three camps and precious little effort invested on the other side except for random do-gooders from time to time (and people like AOC who actually understand that she and her direct constituents will be in direct physical danger from a second Trump presidency and this isn’t some fucking ratings game they’re playing)

        Yes and people are eating it up.

        Ask yourself why we have hundreds of articles on Biden yet none talking about the convicted felon, rapist, nuclear secret stealing, insurrection inciting traitor.

      “If not Bernie, then Trump” bros turned out to be Russian interference.

      Did they?

      Bernie had a 'uge amount of grassroots support without any mainstream media coverage.

      And even if they were Russian, it seems they were correct in 2016.

      Do you have a source for that claim? Many real people were upset about Bernie being overthrown and spite voted against the Democrats.
