- sieabahlpark 6y agoI can tell you haven't read all of the content or seen the pictures. They can't deny it because it's authentic and don't want to create more legal issues by saying that's it true or false.
- sershe 6y agoThat doesn't compute, and I say it as a Biden voter. So, is the email authentic or not? How is not denying it evidence for anything other that it being authentic?
- ChrisLomont 6y agoIf Biden says it's not, then the right says it is, all the headlines pick up this back and forth, another conspiracy story runs, starts a new cycle of nonsense, and soon there is nothing left in the discussion, but many more people see headlines. Instead, simply not getting sucked into this game, and instead putting out other stories or plans, like how one will deal with COVID, or the economy, or our allies, helps suffocate the story. The latter is a wiser move, especially given Trump and co's like of conspiracy talk.
- whateveracct 6y agoIf Biden did dignify it with a response, the average HN contrarian would yell "Streisand effect!" instead of "why isn't he denying it?"
