    I don’t get that at all.

    Those of us trying to get those saying the things in the meme know we need all the votes we can get.

    If we knew Biden would win in a landslide, why waste keystrokes?

      But you’re stifling Democrats who are criticizing Biden by claiming that they’re all actually Russian bots

      Which, actually, is exactly what a Russian bot would do - convince lefty Dems that mainstream Dems are out of touch elitists who don’t care about their concerns and will dismiss any criticism of Biden as foreign interference rather than disagreement with policy choices like genocide support. Which, of course, will cause those lefty dems to resent the Democratic Party and decrease the likelihood they vote for Biden

      So you’re doing Russia’s work for them by continuing this line of attack. You need the votes of young people/zoomers/lefties. You lose parts of that vote by acting like their criticisms are foreign disinformation. Which helps Putin.
