This is almost certainly a Russian talking point. It’s completely unstrategic, it’s spreading largely through broadcast media, and it’s easy to regurgitate with zero thought. Literally 10 articles per day about this, and none of them seem aware that the primary even existed.
the primary, where Biden ran mostly unopposed? that primary? i’m no russian, and i’ve been part of sharing these articles, because it’s a concern that I have as a fascist-fearing leftist.
Right. The one where this magical replacement for Biden that doesn’t have a name or a face could have jumped on a primary ticket if they had wanted to.
Do you really think that’s not a possibility? Did you forget 2016 already? Sanders certainly wasn’t wanted by the DNC establishment, and they even found ways to put their foot on the scale, but he was still on the ballot in a high-profile democratic primary.
If someone had wanted to replace Biden, as in like, actually thought they had a good chance of winning and wanted to do the job, there was plenty of time for that before the Russian propaganda machine started wiggling its way into center-left media outlets.
