Justice Dems are really smearing Joe

Saw the video below and then looked at their twitter page. Disgusting.
The video when watched in full does not indicate what they are trying to state.
I wish someone could get the whole video too, but all I've see is this clip.

He is stating that it's corrosive when big donors give and call for a favor... it's human nature to want to help a big giver.
He is NOT stating it's a good thing. He said its corrosive. Of course they couldn't cut that part out.
The Justice Dems and people tweeting are purposely twisting what is in the video ( if they even bothered to watch it)

discredit and harass Biden. A friend of a friend can stimulate the process.
I think we saw early signs with linking his hands-on warmth to invading women’s space to the over reach of connecting him to stopping awareness of sex harassment issues by decades.
We saw Linda Flores’ dog whistle when she misappropriated the legal issue of consent to Biden’s inoffensive and self-effacing response to her story in asking if he could hug a little boy.
I fear a sleezy lawyer with a step forward sex assault story client, even fictitious, on its way in the last weeks, if Biden is elected.
Among all candidates, he has been the most vetted, but now any unresolved issues or hint of will be recycled.
Biden needs a dedicated media watch group on this.
Thank you for your diligent oversight. One by one we will have to correct these.

3. They don't even try to hide that they're smearing him. They lift 30 seconds from a town hall....

.....that ran for 1:51:57, those 30 seconds were about 56 minutes after it began. They try to portray it as the theme of his talk, not just a "for instance" response to a question.

Here's the entire town hall:

....That 30-second segment was posted in the Democratic Primaries forum on Saturday, which prompted me to find the background behind that 12-year old town hall.

It will be used again later on in the campaign.

They are going to hurt Democrats in the long run. This is a typical GOP dirty trick.

Here is my response to the Tweet:

Very misleading Tweet. Much like republicans do, you took a quote out of context and changed the meaning. Are you sure you are really Democrats? Using GOP dirty tricks does not reflect well on our party. Shame on you.

....but I don't think anyone there really reads the responses. From what I see, thankfully, the responses are more negative than positive.

I noticed quite a bit of push back on Twitter. After the nightmare of 2016, aware Democrats are far more vigilant when it comes to this sort of crap. It is exhausting enough to fight dirty politics from the right and Russia, we shouldn't have to do it within our own party.

Someone in Russia is just loving the Justice Democrats!

This Beatles song popped in my head thinking about them.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world


You don't bring about positive change by burning down everything that came before.
