Harris is lucky to have Trump running
without Trump the Democrat's whole campaign platform would crumble
Are downvoters disagreeing even though the biggest slogan to come out of the DNC was "we are not going back" (plus the point of the stunt this article is about)? Or do they think any criticism whatsoever of democrats is bad? This shouldn't be a controversial take.
Because 1) it's the usual "I'm totally a leftist that hates Trump yet will always blame the Dems for everything for some completely mysterious and unknown reason" bullshit, and 2) it's a goddamn stupid take. Of course running an anti-Trump campaign wouldn't work against anyone but Trump. Harris' campaign strategy (which is a continuation of Biden's) is to singularly point out the threat Trump represents, not to paint the entire GOP as a threat. And as much as it might piss off actual progressives (people who are going to vote Dem anyway because they understand what's at stake, unlike, you know, the poster you replied to) they're trying to reach Republican voters who don't want Trump but need to be reminded it's okay to vote for the other party if they have better candidates.
As a leftist that totally hates Trump, I am voting for Harris because it's not strategic for me to do otherwise. I still have the ability to recognize that the dems are doing their damndest to uphold a broken status quo that is actively harming everyone, especially children in Palestine.
Why shouldn't they paint the entire GOP as a threat when they are the party America's Hitler? The reason we have Trump in the first place is because the DNC wanted a bogeyman to get Hilary in in 2016, quickly found source from 2016. They shouldn't be trying to court Republicans, they should be trying to motivate people with real progress. The reason Hilary lost was because people are sick of establishment politicians and she was the embodiment of that establishment.
People are sick and tired of having 2 bad choices and nothing else.
