I'm not both siding. I'm in disbelief that in an election as important is this one, the democrats have decided that the best strategy they can use is "you don't really have a choice, you have to vote for me because I'm not Trump." Which, at best, has a track record of a 50% success rate, and arguably has a 0% success rate. I say 0% because, the way I remember it, that wasn't the strategy the Biden camp ran with in '20; they hadn't forgot that people actually did vote for Trump before. This was basically HRC's messaging in 16, "suck it up, vote blue no matter who, because, I mean, are you really going to vote for that Bozo?" And they found out the answer to that question the hard way. I don't want the democrats to learn already learned lessons at the expense of the entire country. It just feels like they're playing stupid games for themselves to win stupid prizes for everyone.
