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.
The DNC wouldn't let anyone challenge Biden. It's corruption pure and simple. Whether they have a backup or not Putting someone in Presidency in Bidens shape is wrong on so many levels.
Gee, I'm pretty sure this would've come out years ago. How convenient that it's being 'reported on' now!
We have always had a Vice President and this is why.
