To win back support, the Democratic candidate must offer a positive and coherent vision centered on care and progressive policies, rather than relying solely on anti-Trump rhetoric.

From a German perspective, I don't understand why you always talk about this. You are giving them more attention than they deserve.

Seems like someone forgot their history.

WTF??

Let's talk about your history 8 years ago...

One big conclusion of your last Trump disaster was "Bad attention is attention, too.". That's how your orange endangerer (is this a word? I hope so... You get what I mean) won the 2016 election. Trump insults someone => News article, Trump plans to do something => New article, Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump

Just stop talking about this guy... Why do I even know about this project 2025 bullshit in Germany? Not from our media... Just because progressive people (you use the word liberals) post about it all the time.

The worst case for trump would be everyone ignoring him.

The best case for him is everyone talking about him. It does not even matter whether it's positive or negative... About the attempt to kill him, about his stupid project, about the wall, about his hookers, about the court hearings, etc. How many more Trumps does America need to understand this?

You know what. Fair enough. I apologize for my earlier comment, fucked in retrospect.

Kind of hard to do it though when our media is run by people with similar interests as Trump. Also kind of hard to do that when this man has the literal Republican party nomination. It's all money. Until that's out we need to speak out about this man's ridiculous policies, agenda, and history. If we don't his cronies (such as the daily wire) do enough water carrying for him to gain a foothold in people's minds. I feel like educating the public on these policies is important, irregardless of the outcome. I hate vibes voting.

From my own experience (anecdotal I know) I usually have had success bringing up project 2025 to very far right people in my life. That seems to be a talking point that sticks with people, and it is effective.

I wish nothing more for people to take him as the unserious RFK like fart in the wind he should be. My very own state is probably trumps biggest fan. However until we get there you put a big bright spotlight on this cockroach and all the dirt and shit he has crawled in. Since our media won't laugh him out of the race.

No problem, don't worry about it...

I hope, that Biden's news yesterday change the momentum of attention. At least, the most interesting question about the election is not about Trump right now...

Good luck with the election... A trustworthy democrat as next president is a win for the USA and for Germany where I'm from (and probably the whole planet)....
