My Facebook feed has lit up with anti-Biden crap.

All of it.

ALL of it - is coming from the left.

Can't imagine why they don't talk up their own candidate instead of crapping on Joe.

Ok - there was one post just favoring Bernie.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

I would not be the least bit surprised to find that the anti-Biden memes they are posting were generated by the St. Petersburg Social Media Distruption Collective.

I am curious to see how many of them will actively support Joe - if not at least tone down their rhetoric - if Joe gets that nomination.

At least one of them continued to crap on Hillary all the way through November (Thanks, Mary - are you happier with who you got?).

Putin's boys have now shifted into overdrive. Don't let yourself get fooled so easy by the bots and Ruskies. You would have seen it happen here in 2016.

After Zuck said that he would support propaganda and untruths in the name of "free speech", I mentally started to distance myself from fb. I have been slowly weening myself off of it ever since.

I need the guns would br out for Joe today, MF45 is pissed Bernie is losing his momentum and looks like he will be facing the one candidate who can make his life miserable. And just imagine if President Obama goes out on the trail with Biden! HA HA Ha the orange one will explode.

by political crap. My mental filters are pretty good. If one of my red voting FB friends posts something that is clearly, verifiably false, I post a link to refute it. They are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.

I don't want to ditch FB completely - I am in groups where intelligent discussion and exchange of information is still predominant.

I weaned myself off and for a good year no longer look at it daily. The only time I look is if I get an email saying a particular friend posted. I thought it would be hard but it was easy to wean myself off. But I also am the type of person who when I decide that’s it, I walk away. I quit my drink smoking habit that way in 2000. Whenever I drank I smoked then I quit and after 2 weeks lost the desire to smoke,.

Lessons to be learned:

1) Loyalty to our Party will always pay off and so will disloyalty

2) We can NEVER let the crazies take control of our Party
