Twitter/Hunter Biden laptop
-
Substantially all of the commentary is and has been about the suppression of the story, and the supposed effect on the election that had, etc. Every right wing outlet seized on it like a lifeline at the time, and after a mere 36 hours they could and did post about it. If there was more news to share, I doubt Giuliani sat on it because the post couldn’t get it on Twitter. In fact if the post printed new info, every other right wing account could read it and share the information, and even the article.
Remember I started this thread to talk about how little the impact of twitter’s suppression of the story ultimately had with voters.
I still believe that:
-
the 36 hour suppression gave the story more legs, not less, as it made ot look like "the man" had something to hide
-
the decision of the MSM (ex-Fox) to not it seriously mattered far far more than twitter's suppresion.

And I will add one other point:
Though the MSM (ex-Fox) and Democrats generally had motivation to discount the story, the provenance, timing, and chain-of-custody issues were enough for anyone to be highly skeptical about it. To take that story at face value on 10/14/2020 you really had to want it to be true.

The problem is that the majority of the Dem voters had already voted before the story even came out on October 14th… And the remainder of the Dem voters voted on November 4th, when the laptop story was no longer relevant…

Dems have done a good job with early voting, especially with help from a willing media.
Here's the playbook...
- Discover and farm a new voting segment. Dems have identified and cultivated the Couch Potato Voter. The majority are too damn lazy to actually go to the polls and vote, but they tend to like their entitlements and the friendly neighborhood ballot harvester will make sure they vote the right (Left) way.
- Make sure the Couch Potatoes vote early and stay after your regular voters to mail-in vote as early as possible. Have a favorable media suppress or deny bad press on the Dem candidate, at least until after election day. Or at least after most of the early mail vote is in.
- Unleash every piece of dirt you have on your opponent about ten days before the election. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You just want to rile up the base. And suppress the GOP voters, who normally have much heavier turnout on election day.
