Fred Beukema: Yeah, once they’re running stories about how Trump et al are super-scared of the Dems running someone other than Biden or Harris (as if that would even work, legally), it gets pretty obvious that there’s a chaos encouragement going on.

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.

I feel like treating Biden’s quite obvious and visible cognitive decline as a ratfuck and not something 80% of Americans and many members of Congress agree upon and are concerned about is equally weird! Reasonable people can disagree about the underlying reality, but there is not escaping the q.

It’s a rat fuck promoted by America’s most evil newspaper, and it sounds especially insane to me in light of how Trump is incredibly obviously incapable of stringing a coherent thought together.

Even if you grant that Biden has concerning cognitive issues, it is insane to conclude that Trump is an *improvement*

I do think we need to all be more active but I also think that going nuts at this stage is a terrible idea and the main focus is maintaining democracy. Any concerns I have about Biden are ridiculous given what you've already noted about Trump and how unhinged and ridiculous his "thinking" has been.

It's obviously a disinformation campaign at this point and I wish people would see it as such. It's not like we haven't been through them before

I think that’s a really weird take! I watched a man who says he’s the only one who can defeat fascism fail to complete sentences in a debate he called for. What disinformation is informing my judgement that he can’t win the election? I saw it with my own two eyes.

That part isn't the disinfo part. It's the chaos and rumormongering that is going to be used to get Mike fucking Johnson etc. into power once they push Kamala Harris out of the line of succession. It's also being used to distract everyone from mounting a coordinated response to the Supreme Court

They are literally running stories on that though www.yahoo.com/news/house-r... thehill.com/opinion/camp... thehill.com/homenews/cam... www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/...

The Biden replacement who strikes the most fear into Republicansthehill.com Every Democrat I speak with believes their party is in serious trouble come November if either President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris is heading the ticket.

Exactly my point. And the GOPpers circulating them know exactly what they're saying.
