    They need social media posts too. Highlight the terrible shit that happened, the jobs lost, the terrible covid response, and ask them if thats what they want for this brewing bird flu pandemic again and to have to weather that with even less jobs.

      Don’t just highlight the terrible shit that happened. Biden’s done some things and helped a lot of people. I think they should do ads showing ordinary folks who Biden helped out, in the format of Apple’s old “Switch” ad campaign.

      Normal folks standing in front of a white background talking about who they are and how Biden helped them. “My student loans were just… gone.” “I’m a railroad worker and now I have vacation days.”

      At the end, it’s Biden standing with them saying “I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.”

      If Democrats need to fall in love, maybe woo them a bit.

      There’s a lot more than that to draw from.

      Trump repealed 112 climate regulations, left the Paris Climate Agreement, left the WHO, repealed trans care anti-discrimination law, repealed gay rights to beneficiaries, enacted Title 42 and the Muslim ban, repealed the law prohibiting Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory, repealed Net Neutrality, provided tax cuts to the wealthy that further widened our already exploitative wealth inequality, increased tariffs on goods costing the consumers, repealed the ACA without replacement, seated the conservatives in SCOTUS that repealed Roe v. Wade…

      I’ve always thought expecting any US President to upend 70 years of foreign policy is silly. The US being a reliable ally is very important on the world stage, this stuff changes slowly.

      Undermining Biden because he isn’t pulling the rug from under Israel is stupid and ignores the big picture of geopolitics. Not to mention helps trump, which will turn Gaza into a parking lot and enstate Christo-fascist theocracy.

        That would be the normal, sane, reaction.

        If Israel wasn’t currently engaged in massive war crimes. All of our allies are coming around on this, leaving just us shielding Israel from any consequences.

          And the wheels are turning on waning US support. Public opinion has turned against us being involved, albeit for different reasons.

          Biden has been critical of Israel, I agree we should stop supplying weapons and funding but those decision rest more in congress than directly with Biden. And they won’t be made quickly.

        Oh but actually doing a genocide is fine. Just make sure you use proper English when talking about it?

          While I appreciate your example of what a shitty strawman argument looks like, I never asked for one.

          Either point out the location in my statement where I said “doing a genocide is fine” or admit you have nothing to offer the conversation, and are here to troll as usual.

            You’ve plastered your opinion that you’re willing to commit genocide for domestic political gain all over these boards.

              Show me where or admit you’re a fucking troll. And I’m not talking about your batshit-insane interpretations of anything you disagree with being in support of genocide.

              I’m asking you to prove I have said anything even remotely similar to what you’re accusing me of.

                Here you go. I especially love the ones where you specifically threaten us with Trump or where you accuse us of “holding our votes hostage for one issue”. That issue being… Genocide.
