"Researchers and others interviewed for this story say they cannot conclusively point to the actors behind the coordinated activity. It's unclear if they are rogue hackers, political activists or, as some contend, foreign state actors such as Russia, since it bears the hallmarks of past foreign attacks. One of the objectives of the activity, they say, is to divide the left by making the Democratic presidential primary as chaotic and toxic as possible."

Who'da thunk?

1. Bernie's a commie! Kamala is... well, a woman!

Biden's too old!

Here's a suggestion to my fellow DUers. Make he case why your candidate is better than any others. Don't post RW talking points on how other candidates are bad. The source you quote might be FSB.

Make your case FOR your candidate, not against others.

2. And also use objective, verifiable evidence to support one's conclusions.

Rather than the "Well, everyone I know...!!!" allegations, or the "you can look it up yourself!" both of which invalidate their arguments before they even begin.

4. When there is a point so salient that it appears the questioner is lazy?

You betchyrearse I'll force the lazy person to do their own research.

3. Biden and Bernies age are not right wing talking points.

What a strange way to put that.

[Dennis Donovan]

5. And who are you?

[WeekiWater]

6. Just someone able to understand this.

7. Ok, well, that is a sane conclusion.

8. Truthfully... Biden and Sanders are too old..

Its a hell of thing to ask these men to come in and clean up the mess that our current resident of the white house has made of our government.. They should be able to sit on the sidelines and be sources of support for younger politicians.. but we live in strange times and need everyone on deck

[WeekiWater]

9. The decimation of agencies is Biden's strongest argument...

IMO. He is uniquely qualified for that aspect. At the same time, that role can also be filled by strong leadership and proper administration officials.

10. Their choices are theirs.

[LakeArenal]

12. Yes.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Do you think Nancy Pelosi is too old for her job?

[Peacetrain]

15. You misunderstand too old does not mean not competent to do the job

There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the service and sacrifice that Nancy Pelosi has made to pull our party into a cohesive unit.. Its such a sad state of affairs that we have to pull our mentors and elders who should be helping the newer members through all the stages, instead of having to come back in because we are in such a rotten place with this current administration.. I am fully behind Biden, because he knows all the levers to pull.. there is not a learning curve.. and we will need those people who have fully earned their medals and should be able to advise and not back into the middle of the fight.. .. we have so many relationships to repair in our alliances just as an example... and thankfully the best at it have stepped forward to serve one more time.. damn shame, they deserve a break..but it is what it is

Edit to add...I am in that same age arena they are.. so I know of what I speak.. Its all hands on deck..

[Mr.Bill]

16. I'm not worried about Nancy Pelosi mentoring people while she is Speaker of the House.

I think she can walk and chew gum at the same time.

[yuiyoshida]

11. That sounds about right

かわいそう な!

14. The left will not be divided

2020 is ours.
