Let’s see what the Lemmy far left echo chamber say about this…
If you want an echo chamber, head on over to reddit. There’s tons of power-hungry MAGA mods there with an agenda to push.
We are literally all arguing over if Biden needs to go or not and you call it an echo chamber? The left is as fractured as it has always been. It’s like herding cats. That’s one thing I like about it. The range of ideas.
It’s the right that matches in lockstep behind their great leader no matter what. I’ll read some right-leaning article somewhere, and the next day, most of the right is regurgitating the same damn thing. Like the whole comparing trans people transitioning to lobotomies from the 50s? I can link you the exact article that shit all came from, because I’ve read it. They don’t have any original thoughts of their own.
Did you read the article? Apparently not. The title here is dumb and misleading to the contents. One person’s theory is not “Democrats”.
The entire article reads like some sad right-wing hopium. Dumb as hell.
It doesn’t seem to be completely unfounded, the whole article is that the writer had an impression that this was the case back in 2020, and now two highly placed Dems came out with statements to support that impression.
IDK how many other layers this has though. That said, there seemed to have been a concerted effort to deny Bernie the nomination when all the dropouts happened at the same time, all endorsing Biden who has not been doing that well before.
One who conflates that something like the title happened (opinion), and Ford who says he chose Biden over Bernie.
The title and tone of this article make it seem like there was almost a conspiratorial effort to skew the entire party in one direction against Sanders, which is absurd. If Biden entering the ring suddenly gave people a choice they liked better than Sanders, that’s still not the same thing as the former.
Also, the whole of “DEMOCRATS NOW OPENLY ADMIT…” explicitly implies that an entire group is admitting to some sort of foul play, which is wholely untrue. Because TWO people in the Democratic party said something this author massages into this crap is technically true they won’t get sued for using the plurality, but it’s disingenuous at best, and semantically playing with words to lure readers in.
