In an interview on Thursday with The New York Times, Ms. Pelosi said what was widely reported around the time Mr. Biden dropped out: that she believed it was implicitly understood that his exit would be followed by an internal party competition for a new nominee, instead of an anointment of Vice President Kamala Harris.

There was a brief period where redditors tried to pretend that Biden dropping out after the debate was some political masterstroke because Trump had already spent a lot of time/energy on attacking him and now there was a brand new candidate or something equally r-slurred.

I think what's insane about reddit nowadays is how they're constantly deluding themselves and falling for obvious astroturfing and propaganda. When I actually browsed reddit for fun in like 2012, it was kind of refreshing how skeptical everyone was, even when it was annoying.
Nobody would fall for fake viral videos which were insanely common back then, conspiracy talk was common, and nobody trusted politicians. Even the idea of banning subreddits was universally discouraged because people were convinced that the admins would abuse this power.
Not like it was a particularly intelligent user base or anything, but there was at least a bit of healthy skepticism across the website. But the site changed in the next few years, and then by 2016, it completely became a propaganda vessel. It's just shocking how many people will see a pro-Kamala post with 25,000 upmarseys on /r/all from a brand new subreddit with less than 1,000 subscribers, and they'll think it's totally normal.
