    But the main thing is that R2O has an agenda. They posted article after article about why we shouldn’t vote for Biden and they’re doing it again about Harris. If you read their comments in the thread, they’re not even being especially secretive about it.

    He’s posted article after article pointing to real problems with the democratic platform, he’s not inventing anything that isn’t already there. If acknowledging those issues hurts democratic electoral chances, then maybe democrats should do something to address them.

      Now that’s just a lie. Not only have they blatantly said their agenda was to get people to not vote for Biden (they were even temporarily banned for it), they are implicitly suggesting in this comment chain that people shouldn’t vote for Harris. That was the whole point of saying that things have to fall apart.

        Lol, pot calling the kettle black? Isn’t this itself a fabrication? Saying things need to get worse for people to take action could also mean things in Gaza/Israel need to get worse before americans make it an important issue. He hasn’t said anything about “don’t vote for Harris”, and he was banned for saying he was creating opposition to Biden generally, not so that people didn’t vote. Being unhappy with your electoral choices is the bare minimum prerequisite before deciding you have to do something beyond simply voting. Pushing Harris to make the right policy decisions is an important part of activism.

        “He’s trying to get Trump elected” is just a straight up fabrication.
