    Yes, that’s called influence, isn’t it, they are exerting pressure and trying to convince him, right? But he hasn’t withdrawn yet, has he? Because ultimately, the one that makes the decision, is him. And he will make it.

    If the best you’ve got is some guy’s blog, you’re not doing well. Anyone can make a blog online, and they can put anything protected by the First Amendment on it. You can find a blog saying absolutely anything, and this is probably how you’ve become radicalized into somehow believing in mind control, instead of simply remembering what an Average Middle American sounds like, and how they get what they vote for, resulting after enough decades in our current highly flawed system.

        Credentials are great, but if he’s trying to say that the ultimate choice of whether Biden stays in the race or not is someone aside’s Biden’s to make, then I put him alongside all the credentialed people that support other conspiracy theories. The Trump admin was full of them, and frankly, anyone can become radicalized.

        I’m using basic sense to make my argument, even a child should be able to understand what I am saying. No credentials required. You just don’t like it, because what you already believe is convenient and comfortable, even if you probably know it doesn’t completely make sense.

        Does money grant control? No. A child knows this.
