In reply to the discussion: Debunking the Buttigieg/Zuckerberg tosh. The FB employees went to them and ASKED Zuck and his wife [View all]Celerity
(50,970 posts)who are hell bent on pushing the whole spun up paradigm of Buttigieg as some sort of Zuckerberg drone/stalking horse Manchurian candidate of Facebook. That was even insinuated here. It really is madness.
Those NON DU people are from the same typology that ruthless attacked Warren (hell, a Jacobin author started it, then the RW and far left radicals (DSA/Green Party, etc. Dem-bashers (who are mostly (not all, some are so rad they think HE is a sell-out capitalist tool, lololol) pro Bernie atm) ran with it, as I showed in multiple posts defending Warren here on DU) over that 'she lied about her school teacher job' dross.

of me defending Warren and showing the NON DU 'Sanderite penumbra' (I think that is a fair and accurate description) origins of the Warren smear job.
Overall, the state of American politics is one giant sewer, it disgusts me. Rump has made it all a million times worse, but he is far from the only purveyor of dirty tricks, spin, and false-framing, all hyper-enabled by Twitter and the rest of the social media, which in turn feeds the traditional media and websites as well.
I truly dread the general, it is quite possibly going to be an insane clusterfuck, especially if certain inflections points that I can see happening occur.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
