second debate repug talking points and Biden supporters also posted foul things about her record because she called Biden out during the first debate for his seeming fond reminiscence of working with segregationists.

If she hadn't called him out Booker would've. IMO there is some racism in that line of attack. With Gabbard it might've been instructed as she would destroy trump on a debate stage.

which is what I used. I won't post dirt on a candidate...I did once and vowed never to do it again. What if she was the nominee? But I didn't like everything I saw...you can PM me tomorrow if you want...today I( sigh) have to have a medical procedure because of my bout with food poisoning...and I won't be around.

4. Biden supporters had reason to be angry with Sen. Harris. She went after him for busing...40

or 50 years ago- a policy she didn't even support... and called him a racist basically...complete with t-shirts and pictures of herself as an adorable child...and she tried doubling down on it in the second debate too. If this cost her support, she has only herself to blame. He campaigned for her you know and was very good to her.

5. He bought it on himself for bringing up 40-year-old reminiscences of white racists.

If he hadn't the whole thing would've have happened.

And she did him a favor as he learned to stay away from stories about segregationists as if he continued he surely would've lost some African American support, which is what's keeping his campaign going.

disinformation that Harris is a corrupt racist fake progressive who laughs about putting everybody in jail. After Gabbard launched some CTs at her in the debates, I saw a "List of damning articles on Harris" originally published on Reddit. It was organized.
