...Simmons also once cautioned Biden not to get too comfortable assuming he’d get the Black vote.

In the summer of 2019, he wrote on Facebook that Harris’ campaign was “listless, unfocused” and that her “lackluster fundraising totals” weren’t surprising....

That's correct, and it's the reason I seldom post anything that I wouldn't say in public, in most cases even in a court of law. Opinions are protected speech, although protecting them is sometimes left up to the individual.

What a job; dragging the slimy rivers of the internet, looking for old, now forgotten dirt on specific people.

There probably isn’t a FReeper who could get elected to any office once his or her years of posts went public!
