Some people are more worked up over our former nominee warning that the Russians hope to set up a

Democratic candidate for a third party run than they are about a Democratic candidate calling our former nominee "the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long," and accusing her of being behind a "concerted effort" to destroy her reputation.

Can anyone who is more exorcised about the former than they are about the latter explain why?

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

TG is.

I don't see how Beto can defend that.

Senator Booker had the right response and so did Kai Kahehe..

Real things are fake and the fake is real. Used to only be lies about Democrats from Republicans. Then it became apparent the rest of the population was susceptible to lies from a supposedly Left direction. Now here we are.

Used to be that you could tell what propaganda someone believed. One side thought the Democrat was a socialist giving all their hard-earned tax money to lazy poors and coddling terrorits and what not, and the other side thought the same person was a corrupt warmonger beholden to corporations and Wall Street. Now it's blended and mixed up and you're not sure where it comes from.

Bleeding heart liberals spending a career helping people, whose career can easily be looked up or read about, turned into a cartoon villain and people believe it! It's insane.
