And they had a three decades-long head start on doing just that.

None of our candidates are going to do well against those sorts of lies and propaganda, which is why all Democrats should have rallied about Hillary in 2016 instead of having some on the left amplify those bullshit conservative attacks on her, because whoever the eventual nominee is going to be subject to it.

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