I just unfollow anybody who posts 'Biden needs to quit' anything - articles, memes, personal posts. All of it.

I feel there are valid POVs that have the right to air their views, but there's also a huge conspiracy of foreign actors and they must know they won't succeed in dividing us.

It's all starting to sound like sabotage to me. I'll vote blue no matter who, but I believe it would be a huge mistake to change candidates and the people who are pushing it (like Tim Miller) sound really revved up. It's all suspicious to me now.

I can see why, a healthy deep breath before deciding things will be helpful. I know it's been like that for a while, but more now than ever. I think Miller is sincere in wanting TFG to lose but am taking advice from never-trumpers or new allies w/renewed caution.

Why do I feel like someone has been punching my stomach? Besides the obvious. The average voter doesn't seem to be paying attention. And that infuriates me. Hopefully I don't start leaking in public...

But it's ok if you do. This is tough. Keep talking about it, it's up to us to draw folks in. Tomorrow is an excellent opportunity to open up about the stakes, I think a lot of us will be doing so. The stomach punch will come and go... Project 2025 awareness and mobilize.us this 'Independence Day'

The thing is, it’s technically too late for a new candidate to get on the ballot. You know damn good and well republicans would use the courts in swing states to keep a new democratic presidential candidate off the ballot.

Yeah, I'm afraid it wouldn't bring any gains to Dems to switch now, maybe causing even more problems

Also something about Genocide Joe or some crap like that. Block those accounts

I'm still hoping that we can figure something out with the far left on this but that's a big hope

I honestly don't think these are far left accounts or people. Just like the "replace Biden" referenced in the article, this seems to be interference. We're a testing ground

You have to go with your gut. I know far left ppl like that, we see eye to eye on -most- things. I'm leaving space for that, but yeah. Why tangle w/toxicity unless it's really worth it? Most online arguments aren't, especially this year

It's just too difficult now to vet these accounts so I'm unfortunately blocking them when I see comments that are adamant about replacing Biden or mention something about genocide (shouldn't that be Trump who killed millions of Americans related to Covid??)

If it's that stressful, then that's what you should do 💙

Speaking of disinformation, I recently read...

Four and twenty blackbirds were baked into a pie?

It actually was an old article saying BlueSky didn't have very robust fact checkers. I thought it unwise to continue the post I started.

ah, no problem 😺

Absolutely. They're definitely on here, too. I was muting them, but will start blocking instead
