Just curious. When you make snide remarks about others' posts, do you think no one else sees them?
I think it's pretty clear he wasn't talking about you, or your post - after all, it's not really plausible that you personally are making an attempt to flood the media with this.
Instead, it's wondering why the GOP is raising this. It is a bit puzzling. Harris wasn't personally involved in Biden's departure from the race. Nor has the GOP tried to build a case that she was. So this isn't an attack line on Harris. So what is the GOP trying to do by pursuing this attack line?
There are a few choices.
Continuing disaffection between the Bernie Bros and ClintonWorld after the 2016 primaries is thought to have helped Trump win that race. So they might be trying to generate a split among Democratic voters again. That seems off, though - there aren't really "Biden Bros" that feel passionate about him personally, and Dem. voters report being satisfied with the switch.
There's also my favorite, that they're trying to re-create a permission structure by painting Harris as somehow an "illegitimate" candidate so that they can justify voting for Trump even though he tried to stay in office despite losing the 2020 election. The argument that the GOP protects democracy more than the Democrats - or at least, that they're no worse.
1PG is just pointing out that it might not even be to achieve any particular purpose. That they're just throwing it out there to see if it will stick, if it might become the next "but her emails!" Since it doesn't seem to be getting much traction, if that's the case we'll see Trump's surrogates leave this alone and just move on to something else.
