It can also fire up your base.

Maybe. But it’s asymmetrical at best.

What idiot decided the democrats needed to pull their punches while trump and the republicans get to call america garbage?

No one. Look how fired up you are after Trump’s comment. This is my point. It was a dumb mistake for his campaign, just like Biden’s is a dumb mistake for Harris’ campaign.

Trump is a fascist. Period. Full stop. Anyone who supports him is also a fascist. And fascists are garbage human beings.

Again, you’re mixing up your feelings about how true the statement is with whether or not it was a good move for the campaign. These are two entirely separate things.

Besides which, they were already out voting. They can’t vote any harder.

This flies in the face of all conventional wisdom. Campaigns are out canvassing heavily in swing states (I know, I live in one of them, among very politically active people who are doing it), with the intent of making sure people get out to vote. You seem to be viewing Trump supporters as some kind of borg who all do the same exact thing, but it’s simply not true. There are people who are lukewarm about this and may or may not vote. You don’t want to give them any ammunition to fire up these people to encourage them to vote. That’s the whole point.

Lol I’m definitely doing this next year

The reason it is dumb is because, with a close race, getting your base out to vote is important, and this can be used as a rallying cry. It’s just like insulting your opponent before some sporting even and it’s used a locker room fodder to rule people up.

We learned in 2016 with the deplorable comments, which was accurate, was a mistake. This is a mistake too, no matter how accurate you think it is.

At my house we get north of 200 kids every year it’s decent outside. Sometimes over 250. We’re talking about a kid every minute for the 3.5 hours we do it.

I just set up a table outside, invite a few friends over, drink some beers and give kids candy as they show up. Fuck having to answer the door every minute for 3.5 hours.

My older neighbors complained that the kids don’t have to come up to the front door and are skipping their house because I sit outside. I felt a little guilty, but honestly sitting outside (it it’s cold I get a fire pit going, not tonight tho) is much nicer. One older couple followed my lead this year and agreed. So I’m over it now. Welcome to the new world.

Just a little more context, because the article is really light on the details. After he had been turned away, the cops showed up at his house to interview him and he denied that it was him and it must have been someone else. This defense only came up later after his arreest.

It’s BS and I suspect the only reason he was let off is because the town is overwhelmingly red and the jury was packed with Trump supporters. And of course they don’t care about voter fraud when their side commits it, only when they imagine the other side is.

I’ve got a pretty good sense for these things, and yours is certainly a case of Poe’s law, because I’ve heard nearly the same exact argument used in all seriousness many times.

Read the post?

Where on reddit was as bad as .ml? Other than maybe the Donald or conservative?

Shes an idiot for supporting trump at all, and certainly for marrying him, but someone can support a candidate while also not agreeing with them on everything.
