    Lol, that’s not how this works. Unless you plan to either take away a shit ton of people’s voting rights, or to just kill them, you have to “play the crowd”.

    That’s just how this shit works. As long as enough “deplorables” exists to tip the scales, you have to address them somehow, not pretend they don’t matter because they’re wrong.

    Obama understood that there’s a massive amount of the voterbase unhappy with how things were, and campaigned on a generic idea of change, appealing to frustrated people on both sides of the aisle.

    Talking down to people or calling them names isn’t a good strategy to get them to cooperate.

      If we’re talking election strategy, of course you’re right.

      If we’re talking morals, everyone not voting for Biden is partly responsible if the world gets served Trump again. Trump is not going to improve the lives of anybody but himself and, by accident, other rich assholes.

        “If you don’t vote for Biden Trump will be elected and do all the bad things that Biden is currently doing”

          Biden couldn’t dream of being as shit a president as Trump has been. And Trump is gonna be a lot worse than the first time around.

            We are seeing mechanized warfare on a scale we haven’t seen in decades, under Biden.
