    “And I do narrowly agree that it would be helpful if people who care deeply about the climate and Palestine would stop criticizing the candidate who is better on their issues and instead criticize his opponent. But there’s very little evidence that “people who would prefer it if Joe Biden were more left-wing” is a large block of people or that defections from this group are a serious problem.”

    From the article itself lol.

    “most likely, I think, a communications strategy that involves a stronger presence of Joe Biden and other members of his administration in the media, delivering messages precision-targeted at crossover voters.”

    Going after those Trump voters my God this is what radicalized me. Trying the same stupid strategy decade after decade and consistently eating shit.

      51% of 2020 Biden voters think Biden is committing genocide. These people are fucking delusional, and it’s their fault we’re gonna get another Trump term.

      The problem with going after those voters isn’t that you can’t sway them, clearly you can, the problem is that anything and anyone can sway them at any time for any random reason because people who switch between Trump and Biden are complete morons who do not operate on normal people calculus.
