2020 Presidential Election: Biden v. Trump

Republicans have always had the messaging advantage because it is so fucking easy to scare republicans. Its like scaring a little kid.

gun controllers
homos
blacks/browns
commies
baby killers

That's the royal flush baby
 
birdman, I think you're mischaracterizing the argument against Bernie. Everybody knew Republicans would say any Dem nominee is a socialist. But nobody believes it with Biden.

Neither are super compelling as the presumptive 2024 Dem candidate.

Agreed. Neither seems to give you the boost you would expect from nominating a Black woman either. I should add that I think Rice hasn't run for anything because she's a lifelong DC native. There's nothing to run for.

Also Rice gives the Republicans an attack line. I think #Benghazi will fall flat, but it's more than they have against Duckworth or any of the other contenders. We've never seen Rice go hard at her critics like Duckworth, Abrams, or Bottoms have. In fact, Obama and Biden pulled her out of contention for SOS because of the criticism.

Biden definitely needs a fighter in the VP spot.

My argument is, and has been, that the Pubs will label any Dem candidate for any office a socialist and/or radical leftist so from that perspective it does not matter who we choose.
 
Right. That’s why it wasn’t used as an argument against Bernie.

But that’s a limited perspective because it matters if voters will actually believe it.
 
Good thread on the importance of getting your shit in order to vote this year, crossing all t’s and dotting all i’s.

Says who? There's a ton of polling data showing that the greatest motivator for Biden voters is defeating Trump, not support for Biden. There's no question that Biden was a more popular candidate than Sanders in the primary, but where is the data showing that "socialist" is a more effective attack against Bernie than Biden? Seems more like a natural assumption than an actual fact.

Welp...guess I’ll have to reconsider....

According to Trump, Biden is

...following the radical left agenda. "Take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God.

"He's against God, he's against guns, he's against energy, our kind of energy."
 
You think people believe Biden is a socialist?

Huge proportions of our society believe plenty of things that have no basis in reality. Labeling any democrat a socialist is not about getting people to believe it, it’s about stoking people’s fears.
 
Of course - stupid reactionary people who refer to tax raises, welfare programs, and regulations as socialism.

We aren’t talking about those people. They’re a lost cause anyway.
 
Color me shocked there hasn't been more discussion on this thread over Jim Crow Joe's latest gaffe which the media is dutifully trying to clean up today.

Was yesterday's comment better or worse than "Poor kids are just as bright as white kids"???
