    Spoiler: his voters don’t read and even if they did, they don’t care. They will just find another excuse

      Can’t save the cultists, yes, but Independents do care.

      And even though Indies are a minority, they are still the ones who decide the election outcome in every swing state.

      So, good strategy by the Dems.

          Yet to see them on the internet, or in-person in one of the swing states?

          Your take is valid, but less than 50,000 votes in swing states separated Trump and Biden from a tie in the EC in 2020. I could believe that there were at least 25,000 “actually swingable” voters in the right states out of 150+ million voters in 2020, and I could believe the same for 2024.

            While I agree with your statement and analysis, I’m just baffled at these swingable voters. I mean, what else would it take to swing someone away from a rapist, convicted felon, insurrectionist, and openly confessed wannabe dictator? At what point they say, you know what, there’s no comparison here?

            I doubt there are any true independents here. Only embarrassed Republican voters who are too shy to admit that they will still vote R - hence calling themselves independents to save their face.

        Also you aren’t targeting the voters. You’re targeting him. Either he bites and debates which both us and his advisers know will go terribly for him or he doesn’t and you can go on a bolder attack further down the road in a medium his voters give a shit about.

      The don’t tread snek crowd doesn’t read, but the seniors wearing the MAGA hats, wheeling around oxygen tanks do.
