    Don’t talk too loudly about Democrats increasing funding for cops, it helps Trump!

    Don’t talk too loudly about Biden bankrolling a genocide, it helps Trump!

    Don’t talk too loudly about the man y’all say will protect us from Trump being too incapacitated to protect us from Trump, it helps Trump!

    It is crazy to try to paint this as drama when you bring up any issues before things get bad, folks will just shout you down anyway. I’ve seen many liberals say they would vote for Biden’s corpse, so what difference does it make if it is someone else with (D) next to their name? You might as well go down swinging than on your knees.

      Because we’re all relying on historical context. No previous-loser has ever won against the person who beat them in the history of presidential elections.

      Democrats funding for cops actually helps democrats reach centrists and independent voters.

      Nobody actually gives a shit about Israel and Palestine. People bringing this up are feigning concern.

      Nobody has ever said Biden will ‘protect us from Trump’. Not voting for Trump is what protects us from Trump. Telling people to stick it to the man and vote for someone else is harmful, because it splits the vote.

        . No previous-loser has ever won against the person who beat them in the history of presidential elections.

        Biden’s current approval rating is 34%…

        What’s the last president with numbers that low he got a second term?

        Like, I don’t think people understand how historically unpopular Biden is. 34% is fucking insane for being the president that followed trump, you can’t get a better set up than being compared to that shitheel.
