    Maybe they should have spent time and money promoting their candidate instead of attacking the other

      This is really what it boils down to. But with Trump there is nothing to promote. The only way they can win is by ruining the reputation of their opponent to try to make them look worse.

          Didn’t you know Kamala let her tamagotchi die 30 years ago? Do you know where that tamagotchi has been buried? You might not know about this, but everyone is talking about this. But they don’t because they are too scared to talk about it. A lot of good people. They talk about it. And the world is laughing at us. The good people talking about this are too scared to talk because the world is laughing.

        But it doesn’t matter if he had nothing to promote. He’s not above lying. This was just a bad decision on their part. Even if biden hadn’t dropped out, there’s no guarantee that a man that age will be here in four months.

          Lying is one of the things he has a lot of practice doing.

          He’s not very good at it, though, he contradicts his lies with other lies on a regular basis.

            Except to the right audience they are extremely proud of them. Yes overall their policies are unpopular but they aren’t without support

                What’s the point here? I’m trying to point out the very real danger they represent. Are you really going to downplay that danger? This is how we lost roe v wade

                  Whoa…I agree with you. And I’m not sure why what I said upset you. I am just speaking in the context of the discussion of the post which is campaign strategy.

                  We need to shout about Project 2025 from the rooftops because it’s so toxic the Trump campaign wants it to stay hidden.

                  It’s that they don’t need to be won over. They are going to vote for Trump regardless.

      I was thinking this when everyone was saying it’s too late to change candidates. While that might have been true if a campaign consisted of promoting people’s positives, that’s not what it is. It’s all about finding the dirt on the other and switching candidates late just means there has been less shit talked.
