27. This whole thread needs extreme fact checking

We are going to be constantly blitzed with disinformation to sew divisions and dissent. Is Amy being Hillaried here? Is this Amy's emails in another form? That is what they did in 2016 ... it wasn't anything major about HRC, because there was nothing major, it was just a drip-drip of uneasiness. Once they sew doubt in the minds of the masses, the masses are much more willing to believe the bigger lie at the proper time (for them).

Do not waver. Do not let disinformation pollute your mind and your will. To me, this needs checking. To accept the rumor is toxic. What's the old line, from a Sparks album? "Rumors spread like tumors, too too fast and too too true." So don't let it happen.

My thought is this is not very relevant, or even a lie with a grain of truth, and confirmation of just how much Trumpies Campaign fears a Biden-Klobuchar ticket. Look at that idea this way: 1/2 of the Obama team, his VP in fact, and someone who can deliver Trump's fertile pickings of 2016 - the midwest - into the Democratic column. Are we being duped here?

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