    …yeah this is just gonna get them riled up. Name-cally bullshit is the right wing’s turf - if we play there, we lose every time.

    This should have been a call to unity.

      We lose because we half-ass it.

      They’re beyond deplorable, everybody knows it, this false politeness helps nobody.

        You can make harsh comments without petty insults.

        Bonus points for leaving a way out, so people can feel their dignity to stay intact when leaving their position instead of feeling that they have to double down.

      I mean it could go either way really, lots of reports of people peeling off support already because of how extreme MAGA is, if they get riled up even more and really start shooting at the sky it could definitely accelerate that peeling.

      It could also backfire, so who knows.
