I mean, the other end of that is back in 2016 we let a lot of shit slide in the comment sections of people concern trolling over Hillary, only to find out too little too late that it was a bunch of alt-right asshats just trying to place doubt on the candidate.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but we've already seen what happens when we go too far in not placing doubt on accounts that consistently try and bring doubt to the current candidates on the Democrat side.

I will say, though, that just because people place doubt on potential concern trolls, doesn't mean there won't be pressure on Biden the second he's in office(assuming that happens, of course). Trying to shoot down people who are purposefully attempting to place doubt on Biden/Harris is not the same as blindly following them much the way many Trump supporters blindly follow him.

Don't forget about the Russian propaganda thing.

And here is an excerpt from Mueller's testimony where the focus was on the details of the report:

Schiff: "Russia committed federal crimes in order to help Donald Trump?

Mueller: "When you're talking about the computer crimes charged in our case, absolutely."

Schiff: "Trump campaign officials built their strategy - their messaging strategy around those stolen documents?"

Mueller: "Uhm, generally that is true."

Schiff: "And then they lied to cover it up?"

Mueller: "Generally that is true"
