reddit isn't buying this, either.

this is a classic soviet-style take down. but, if we can maintain a questioning electorate, there's still some hope for democracy.

it's not like al franken is a political saviour or anything, but he's a reliable liberal and a credible option to defeat hillary. i think these events also confirm that he was thinking about running. despite the massive, co-ordinated push by the media & political establishment, i'd like to see some actual polling.

the little bit of grassroots evidence i've seen suggests people aren't buying into this - because it's just too obvious.
