They're doing completely typical Twitter shitposting, on Mike Gravel's verified account. It's a funny joke, but that's all it is. You could hand over the account to anyone on lefty irony Twitter and get the exact same results.
It's been somewhat disheartening to see people take this at all seriously, to think that Mike Gravel is going to even have anything useful to say at the debates. We all (well, maybe not the teens) remember Gravel from 2008. He's not about to blow anyone's mind.
Calling out the hypocrisy
of top-tier candidates like Biden or Harris with the same panache as in 2008, while advocating policies not considered ‘Practical’, is their explicit goal. Some people view the 2008 performance as brave truth-telling—how many of those serious, smooth-talking candidates voted for the Iraq War?
Speaking truth to power doesn’t always mean speaking truth to people with elected power.
