I’ve heard the same. The trumpers used the internet because it was cheap, and allowed them to lie. The Democrats used established methods of campaigning - and maintained their honesty. Enough of the public bought the Republican lies, sat on their hands, tossed their votes ..or voted for the liers.

The Dems play softball in a game of hardball. Evil McConnell bulldozed them in the Senate - and trump’s Administration defied them from the White House. My hope is ‘Americans’ have learned, as their taking back the House of Representatives showed. We’ll see … if we live that long 😕

The democrats are about to nominate an old man who is so out of touch with technology that it took his team 6 days to set up a home studio so he could broadcast to the country in safety during the pandemic. Either that or it was just an excuse to keep him hidden away from the public.

Meanwhile, Sanders was live-streaming the entire time. He dominates with the youngsters and we all know that technology is the territory of the youthful. The "Bros" are dominant on the Internet. That's why they were given the reputation of being mean and rude and aggressive online.

If the democrats need to win back the ceded digital space from the republicans, they'll need us and most of us are so disgusted with Biden that we won't bother.

. . . IMO, that is a piss-poor reason to leave-it to Trump !

@FearlessFly

Biden was a piss-poor choice and we didn't make it.

The decision to leave it to Trump was made by the nitwits who thought Biden has a chance against Trump.

@RoboGraham . . . is that your (possibly delusional) "crystal ball" opinion ? OR, do you really advocate (assuming Biden gets-the-nod) apathetic boycott of the election or actually favoring Trump ?

@FearlessFly

I advocate that people vote for whichever candidate they decide is best and not be pressured by the vote blue no matter who mantra.

I certainly hope people don't decide to support Trump and for many of the same reasons, I hope they don't choose Biden either.
