    Yes, I try to ignore lies when I can. She could have spoken out against the complicity of the Biden Harris administration at any time, and especially once she became the presidential candidate and she chose not to, indicating it will remain business as usual with her.

        Is this a joke? Are you pretending Harris did not make a choice here?

          She didn’t have a choice. Her entire campaign was Biden people and Biden money. She towed the line or had no campaign.

                After dropping from the race Biden no longer had control over the campaign funds.

                Besides, even if we were to imagine that Biden could still hypothetically somehow take away the campaign funds, Harris still chose to play ball.

                  Again, the money came from Biden people. If Biden said “pull the money” it would have evaporated. Harris wouldn’t have had more donations, and her staff would have left.

                  This is how politics works in this country.

                    How do you “evaporate” money that is already under Harris’ control?

                Campaign funds that were there to fund a losing message.

                The electorate wanted a break from Biden, and if Harris’ campaign funding relied on not breaking with Biden, what does that tell you about the influence and intent of that funding?

                  It wasn’t just the money, her staff came from Biden as well. So she would have had to re-build the entire campaign from scratch with 30 days to the convention and 100 days to the election.

                  It wasn’t possible, and everyone (well, everyone outside lemmy) knew that.

                  She took a gamble, a stupid one. Stick with Biden, keep his infrastructure, hope for the best.

                  It was a losing gambit, but it had a better chance of working than going out on her own.
