(6,042 posts)Romney was ridiculed but he was right. Clinton was ignored when she talked about Putin/Russia machinations in 2016 but she was right. It is we the voters who were left in the dark.
Mueller's been largely ignored when he warned of Russia involvement in 2016 and his clear warning about 2020.
Facebook remains a problem is not our friend; it is our enemy and the tragedy is that so many democrats have willingly given their information to it for free and were completely propagandized in 2016 with Putin and Republican/corporate fake news. I do not have much hope that Facebook will cease and desist in 2020 because those who were duped still do not want to admit it and continue to support this platform which is authoritarian and works against human rights and freedom all over the globe.
The reasons some in the party have been warning against complacency and urging people to vote as though we are 30 points behind is because they know we are still relatively unprepared for the Russian challenge and Facebook.
If Putin drops Trump and Republicans run Romney again (yes they dislike him but they can put up with him for four years if they have too. that is what they did in 2012; he is after all big on self-deportation of immigrants) they will will do what they did from 2008 to 2016 and block as much legislation as they can while Biden works on cleaning up the mess-they they swoop back in and steal everything they can again while destroying the planet.
