Exactly my thoughts. True though it may be, denigrate the leader, not his followers. Kamala didn’t fall for that obvious trap in her Fox interview, and now Biden’s made up for that. You never call voters stupid. Especially when they very much are.
Yeah, surely a party that calls their opponents criminals, pedophiles, paid actors, and cheaters repeatedly in every rally would be making a dire mistake that would remove them from any reasonable chance of contention.
Maybe civility politics is just a stupid illusion.
Y’all are forgetting that this whole thing is graded on a sliding scale. If Harris did 1 of the crazy things Trump does every damn day, this wouldn’t even be a close race. So yeah, Trump gets a pass for calling American citizens “trash,” but Harris would be torched for anything remotely similar.
For real. I’m at the point where I’ve lost my tolerance for this whole situation. If we can’t collectively decide that this is a fucking ridiculous place to be as a country and make the only choice that has even a chance of getting us out of this mess then we need to hurry up and get the collapse over with. It’s utterly asinine that we are even having this conversation.
I heard a Trump leaning voter say on TV that the Trump rally joke about Puerto Rico made them switch to Harris. Yes something died inside me. Still there’s so much riding on this that I don’t care where the votes come from, as long as Harris goes over the line. 🥹
You can make harsh comments without petty insults.
Bonus points for leaving a way out, so people can feel their dignity to stay intact when leaving their position instead of feeling that they have to double down.
I mean it could go either way really, lots of reports of people peeling off support already because of how extreme MAGA is, if they get riled up even more and really start shooting at the sky it could definitely accelerate that peeling.
“Basket of deplorables” vibes.
Hillary was wrong by 50% on that one.

That’s one advantage Biden has right now: since he’s no longer running, he can speak the truth without it impacting his campaign.

You just say they must have been born from a collapsed star?
It was true then, it’s true now.
Bit counterproductive when you’re trying to get some of the ones on the fence to vote Harris.
Nobody is on the fence about this. It’s all about mobilisation.
If this is on the fence I hate to see the other side

…yeah this is just gonna get them riled up. Name-cally bullshit is the right wing’s turf - if we play there, we lose every time.
This should have been a call to unity.
We lose because we half-ass it.
They’re beyond deplorable, everybody knows it, this false politeness helps nobody.

Hundreds of years of slavery.
1m Americans died because they wanted to keep slavery.
100 more years of Jim Crow, slavery in another guise.
Hitler cited Jim Crow in Mein kampf as an example German genetic policies must follow.
Black GIs came back from fighting nazis in Europe to be lynched for being ‘uppity’.
Our mistake was not being too cruel, it was being too gentle.
Notice how Germany doesn’t have nazi statues everywhere.
Purge once, or suffer forever, we made the wrong choice, needed to let uncle Sherman finish his work.
I mean it could go either way really, lots of reports of people peeling off support already because of how extreme MAGA is, if they get riled up even more and really start shooting at the sky it could definitely accelerate that peeling.
It could also backfire, so who knows.
Yeah right along with the Harris Fortnite map instructing people to “Pokémon Go to the polls.”
These motherfuckers are so out of touch.
