16. To state the obvious, we've got to be very vigilant

about any slander (and especially innuendo and related distortions) about ALL of our candidates, especially those in the top tier that Republicans and allies decide are worth worrying about. We have to be vigilant about not inadvertently spreading their lies and innuendos ourselves ; AND we need to be super careful about checking the provenance of every factoid that comes our way.

Yes, I realize that all of this is obvious, and that everyone here is well aware of the problem but their dirty tricks are such an important and consequential issue, and this #$% pseudo-story about Biden is such classic Fox-news M.O. that it seemed worth pointing out the obvious.

Also (another obvious point) they're just getting started. Every single candidate worthy of their anxiety is going to get this treatment. So (restating the obvious, sorry) we've got to be ready for them.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
