25. I've done about as much as I can, including some horrid battles with NON DU Bernie people on Twitter

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.

for example here

and here

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287303161#post34

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.



If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Just lending some needed balance to this insistent nothing-to-see-here thread BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #17
No, you are trying to continue to push the same tosh that the very article itself debunks, tosh that Celerity Oct 2019 #21

your attempt at satire, snark and shade (Triple S, just like Balenciaga!! LOLOL) is weak, dont quit Celerity Oct 2019 #22
So, somehow the fact they knew each other in college debunks it? kcr Oct 2019 #28
Debunks your theory that's made up with no actual evidence from the start? mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #32
While not everyone is a fan of my attempt at satire. kcr Oct 2019 #34
It's equally ludicrous to suggest it's as physically difficult for Zuck to forward a resume mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #38
Really? That's what you think I was trying to suggest? kcr Oct 2019 #40

I think it's foolish that it needs to be debunked in the first place. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #41
It's funny how clear it is to our side the silliness of the RW's Clinton/Soros bullshit ... mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #44
