I don't understand the point here. Because Trump isn't credible at all, Biden is as credible as Bernie? Need to learn that not every argument can be won by "BUT TRUMP!"

Let me rephrase that Whatever words come out of Trump's mouth, it is extremely obvious that he is a lifelong enemy of labor rights and friend to big business It is completely absurd to vote in a policy and then vote a President who will immediately undermine it

And who has, in fact, just appointed a Supreme Court justice who is likely to be a deciding vote to strike it down "BUT TRUMP" is a VERY GOOD FUCKING ARGUMENT when TRUMP IS THE ACTUAL FUCKING PRESIDENT and you can SEE HE OPPOSES THESE POLICIES TOOTH AND NAIL

If people vote for a $15/min wage and also vote for Trump, those two votes cancel out There is no rational policy reason to submit a ballot that says that Either the vote for the min wage hike or the vote for Trump is pure, as they say, "virtue signaling"

The idea that Trump is more of a real friend to labor and will make it easier to get paid higher wages than Biden is based on absolutely nothing whatso-fucking-ever It is utter and total bullshit Trump has spent his life avoiding paying people wages and so have all his friends

The whole "Okay but Trump is *culturally* working-class" thing is pure "identity politics" It is identity politics in its worst, stupidest, emptiest, most vicious form It cannot somehow be defeated by writing an even better policy platform

when people say "trump is culturally working class" what they mean is "trump is a cruel racist misogynist bully, and these are qualities i project onto the working class"

Yeah, which is a fun way to dodge the actual issue; racism and misogyny are popular, and drive Trump's support regardless of everything else.

With high turnout, this isn't a case of Democrats being uninspired or whatever; the actual issue is that there's too much enthusiasm for Trump specifically. Biden's not struggling because of indifference.

The big comforting lie of the past four years is that Trump just kind of snuck into office while no one was paying attention but if America hadn't been asleep at the wheel we would've stopped him That he isn't actually popular and that MAGAs are just a paper tiger

This has obviously never really been true, but it's something people would prefer to believe because it makes everything so much easier -- it makes "resistance" into a battle and not a war

This is why I despise the narrative "Trump was a historically weak candidate, and Hillary was even weaker" -- the whole smug assurance that anyone who was even a tiny bit stronger and more authentic and more credible than Hillary could've wiped the floor with Trump

No Trump is a mixed bag -- he's certainly politically weak in a lot of ways his allies wish he weren't -- but his weaknesses are also his strengths In terms of winning the national election, both times, he had very, very powerful advantages
