No no not like that! We're going to sue!
They're going to, probably in every single red state.
They're going to throw so much shit at the wall due to election ballot timing that unfortunately I think something will stick.. it more than likely wont be legitimate, but we have way too many corrupt judges out there :(

They aren’t going to sue. They are going to start shooting. They’ve outright stated that. It’s crystal clear: they’ve said that the revolution would be “bloodless” only if the left “allowed” it to be. I really wanted to live long enough to build a family,.

Oh no, all of their bots will have to be reprogrammed.
Bots and trolls in shambles right now
I'm having a blast trolling Trump supporters on Instagram. They're short fusing right now.

The problem with a 2 party system is that it is a lot easier to make the opposition look bad rather than make your candidate look good.
So all these MAGAs lost a lot of money since their smear campaign of Biden is now worth nothing and they will have to start over.
The smear campaign for Harris is already ramping up into full fashion.
Anything and everything is being thrown at the wall to see if it sticks. It's absolutely disgusting behavior.
Incidentally, there's a bunch of people on Lemmy really mad that they can't tell everyone not to vote for Biden anymore. They'll tell us not to vote for whoever is going to be his replacement though.
You know what I’m not seeing?
ANY of these accounts that were so relentless in their criticism of Biden and how he needed to step down because otherwise the Democrats would lose, being simply happy about this.
ALL of the tentative happiness about Harris maybe being a stronger candidate than Biden was, is coming from people who were either neutral or defending Biden before. The people who were giving a firehose of criticism to Biden and demanding that it was MANDATORY for him to step down, for the good of the Democrats and the country, have for the most part fallen silent, and a whole new grouping has arisen to give criticism to Harris and say that as good progressives they could never vote for a cop.
They’re waiting on the next talking points from their Russian overlords. Give it a day or so and they’ll be back with some new, yet all the same, arguments.
Yeah, they can't take two seconds to enjoy the victory they wanted. They have to move on to the next thing to bitch and moan about.

Eh, their new dissent orders seem to be "Biden can't appoint Harris! I didn't vote for her!" which, of course, displays a total lack of knowledge about what primaries are and what the DNC is.
They didn't want Biden to run, and now they mysteriously don't want the person most of the party supports to run either.
The uptick in those types of accounts makes this site start to feel like 2016 reddit 😂. Lemmy has become large enough to justify investment of bots to brigade and astroturf; we've made it!
Someone should start a Lemmy.ru instance with communities like /c/kremlin or maybe /c/remlin
Right? It’s almost as if they’ve never been approaching any of this in good faith.
You're telling me someone would just go on the internet an lie?
It's a massive social hub with influence on all the worlds information. What possible motivation could someone have try to influence people by faking accounts and make bad faith arguments?
Sorry, it just doesn't add up. Now, you've interrupted me hitting myself in the head repeatedly with a hammer and this brain damageisnthgomr e
I'm seeing a lot of "wHat AbOuT A pRimArY" already from the usual bad actors.

It is a conspiracy for one side to strategically do a better job and be better.
