It has become popular among my friends circle to dismiss any and all criticisms of certain candidates as the work of Russian trolls trying to divide people. Which is utter bullshit. I'm not a Russian troll, or any kind of troll, and I know for a fact:
* Biden is a racist, senile sack of garbage. His record is publicly available, including the history of racism that continues to this day. Sure, he'd be better at being President than Trump is, but then so would a dead ferret.
* Warren is a super-wealthy Republican in Democrat clothing. She's even admitted to having switched over from the Republican party. Clinton did the same thing, and look how that turned out. Thank Satan she's not running anymore.
* Bloomberg is basically Trump, but was running as a Democrat. I would accept Biden or Warren or even Carrot Top as President before I would accept Bloomberg as President. I wouldn't trust that man to run a book club, let alone a country. Thank Satan he's not running anymore.
* If Biden genuinely wants to defeat Trump, the best thing he can do to ensure that is to drop out of the race and let Bernie have the nomination.
* I know fuckall about Klobuchar, but she too should drop out of the race. Mainly because most people I know had never even heard of her until a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to find anyone who knows anything about her position on the issues. She came out of nowhere and appears to be, politically, a complete nobody. As a bisexual and polyamorous Satanist, *I* have better chances of becoming President than she does!
* The DNC has done everything in its power to fuck over Bernie Sanders a second time, even though they did that the first time around and it backfired spectacularly on them, even though he's got a solid, dependable, very Left voting record stretching back many decades, and yet despite his uphill battle against the press and the DNC, he's still the strongest candidate in the running, and the only candidate who stands a snowball's chance in Hell of defeating the Trumpsterfire.
Criticizing a candidate for being a racist, or for being senile, or for being a Republican running as a Democrat, are legitimate concerns as to their electability and how horrible they're going to be as President. You can't just dismiss these criticisms as "Russian trolls" without making yourself look like a close-minded idiot.
Like I've already said, Biden and Warren would be preferable to Trump. Even Clinton would have been; I swallowed my pride and voted for her last time. But if you didn't recognize and admit that Bloomberg would have been as horrible a choice as Trump, then maybe you should go back and re-take grades K through 12.
