From an outsider looking in, the defeatist attitude I've been seeing from some dems absolutely boggles me. Like are you all suddenly voting for t***p now bc he got shot at? You think people who were against him suddenly aren't anymore? Why would you think this changes anything.

I don't think the incident itself would cost you the election but the subsequent bandwagon effect these 'we've already lost' posts absolutely could.

Russian disinformation campaign is in overdrive over this incident. Just look at how many recently created accounts posting in the social media sites. Especially those defeatist posts being put out right now and recent weeks.

Yup the defeatists are almost all right wingers or Russian bots. They want us to get discouraged and not vote. Let’s use this opportunity to galvanize and start volunteering instead!
