Via Fred Wellman: đź§µ 1/...

I've seen a lot of people telling me that this story means they think #Biden is weak so they want him in the election. No...you're missing the goal here. What they are doing is declaring how they will conduct a coordinated lawfare campaign to screw the Democratic nominee.

...

2/ Wellman:

First it will be this lawsuit. In close order various Republican AG's will sue the DNC on behalf of their citizens "who voted in good faith in the Primary for Joe Biden." Then they will launch coordinated campaigns to split the Democratic coalition. "See how they are treating Kamala?" "Why didn't they think California's governor leading the 3rd largest economy in the world should be nominee." it will be relentless and targeted to get people to stay home.

3/ Wellman:

Millions of dark money will go to third party candidates. Suddenly RFK Jr. will miraculously have the resources to get on every ballot...on and on and on.

They don't care who is on the ballot. They want us to spend time, money, and anger on each other and on defense so Trump simply strolls into the White House with 45% of the vote.

4/ Wellman:

The Biden campaign needs to stop nevel gazing and get back in the fight. We all need to stop eating each other alive and remember the real enemy to our democracy is the one's cheering this on in Florida.

5/ Wellman responds to this:

You really only need to worry about swing states controlled by Republicans - and even in those states they're not likely to want to deal with the outrage of trying to game the Democrats out of the Presidency in this fashion.

Wellman:

With respect you’re missing the point. Time is our enemy. All the have to do is drag their feet while Dems scramble and hire lawyers and fight. If you’ve learned nothing in the last 8 years, the Republicans don’t want a fair fight.

6/ Via Angry Staffer:

Read all of this. This is *exactly* what the GOP wants.

They’re using the media as part of their influence operation to fracture Democrats with the ultimate goal of limiting turnout on the left.

7/ Via Katie Phang:

FWIW my two cents:

The only person who can, and will, decide whether Joe Biden drops out is Joe Biden.

I, personally, support Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. I think calls for him to withdraw discount his first term’s successes, of which there are many. It also ignores some practical realities that cannot be overlooked a mere months away from Election Day.

@GottaLaff Laffy: Pres. Biden has had our back from the very beginning. So the least I can do is support his reelection. There’s only one choice here and that is to vote for Pres. Biden.

I don’t know who’s making these idiotic claims that Pres. Biden should dropout. There are also talk about the president finding another VP. That’s even more ridiculous. Some really need to chill out…

@rlstone4dems @GottaLaff I’m starting to feel skeptical of these reports. Coming from who? Joe Biden is my candidate unless he says otherwise, my support isn’t “cracking.” The disinformation campaign is in full swing.
