    She’s not a threat, she’s running a spoiler campaign to siphon votes. She’s deliberately exploiting a system to affect an outcome.

    That’s like me showing up outside your house and job and plastering “UniversalMonk wants to diddle your kids” posters everywhere. Whether it’s true or not is irrelevant if someone believes the bullshit and subscribes to the idea.

    Being a threat would actually take effort to run a real campaign with real ideas.

      She’s deliberately exploiting a system to affect an outcome.

      Then that sounds like Democrats think she’s a threat. If she wasn’t a threat, all of that would be a non-issue. I mean, they have spent money on new ads against her. If they didn’t think she was a thread, they wouldn’t have done that.

      And to your point, if you did that to me with your signs, I would definitely view you as a threat. Regardless of your motivation or the falsehood.
