thank you harris and dems. this is much better than the "he's weird" approach. ratchet up the pressure on the fascism aspect, all the way up, and keep it there
Why not both? "Weird" gets politically disengaged people to notice, then follow up with how a Trump or Republican facist presidency would be dangerous.
It also doesn't get as pilloried as Hillary's "deplorables", even if she was right about that.
Hilary's pillory would make a good title for a book about the 2016 election.
Also, she could open up a bedding store, call it "Hillary's Pillowery" and BOOM shot across the bow to Mike Lindell and the RNC funding apparatus!
good point. they have a lot of people of all ages who need to be addressed in their own language
Trump is not bussin, no cap
I am so glad Biden stepped down and Harris is actually running the campaign the Dems should have been running since 2016.
I think Biden was the best person to run in 2020.
His prior experience with the office + familiarity with world leaders is what allowed him to actually work from day one and also get NATO back together.
Remember that trump didn't hand the power peacefully, was blocking intelligence reports and our relationship with our allies was in the shitter.
Putin started to preparing to invade Ukraine in April 2021 (or at least that's when or intelligence noticed it), putin was certain that Biden won't be able to reunite West on time.
All other 2020 candidates would need some time ramp up as they did not have the same experience.
I am talking about Dems as a whole and the campaigns they should have run, not which candidates were running.
Biden was a good guy to have on cleanup duty. I think one of the main reasons why the Obama presidency was such a disappointment is that he had to handle cleanup duty at the same time as he was trying to push things forward.
There's a multi-pronged approach here now.
The "He’s weird" is the equivalent of "Doesn’t she look tired" in Doctor Who, when the Doctor decides to end a bad politician’s career. That sentence, as it starts spreading, destroys her career.
This is what they aim for, and it’s meant for MAGAs, to crack them open.
He's still hella weird though...
