Yeah that's fucked up and all... But I'm so curious as to who is stupid enough to believe that Joe Biden would ever call voters to tell them NOT to vote. Why wouldn't you be immediately skeptical?

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

I mean billions of people believe in magic sky man, another few billion believe in magic sky man’s father, and the last couple billion believe in magic sky man’s brother

…and are all convinced their magic sky man is real and the others aren’t, so…

Oh it gets even worse than that... When I read about this on Monday they were saying that the call advised people to "save" their votes and use them when they really mattered in November. Now who the hell is stupid enough to believe that you can't vote in the general election if you also voted in the primary?
