  • There just aren’t that many third-party true believers

    Me and most of the people in my social circle. Look at the campaigns of socialist Claudia De la Cruz and the crowds of people showing up at her demonstrations. You think most of those people are getting paid?

    And how do you think people just magically get paid to start posting articles? The reason I am asking is because I get accused of this DAILY. lol

      That's a statistically insignificant blip unless your social circle is, for example, Delaware.

      No, of course not. I was referring specifically to online, where a single person can operate thousands of bots spamming nonsense. You can't do something like that at a physical event.

      That said, her rallies attract hundreds of people at best. Harris' rallies attract tens of thousands of people, with thousands more standing outside. And De la Cruz is polling in the low single digits. She's barely a statistical blip. Yet online forums are absolutely flooded with support for her and for Jill Stein.
