      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.

        Bit counterproductive when you’re trying to get some of the ones on the fence to vote Harris.

            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. 🥹

      …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.

          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.

        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.

    Mistake. No need to hurl insults back. Trump had dug his grave now you give him the opportunity to reach up from dead and pull you under.

    Biden, you’ve always sucked. Glad one this is for certain, you’ll be gone and I’ll never have to think about you again.
