They have to keep pumping that false image, injecting it into the internet. The more backscatter propaganda the closer to the goal of undermining democratic contenders that don't fit their private view. If they were sincere they wouldn't undermine their own cause this way.

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