Any good faith criticism of the Dem candidate should be obvious in its criticisms that R policies are inherently worse.

Your argument would be great if we didn't live in the reality presented below. There are too many people sitting on the fence who legitimately cannot discern between a mediocre candidate and a career conman, criminal rapist. Where you see nuance, others see "she's no better than Trump".

I like Harris as much as I like Biden, which is not at all, but the alternative is the very real possibility of the end of America.

For my money those charts will look very different after the next debate.

There’s also not a combination of words that’s going to convince me leftists criticizing Dems are going to kill America. Even if Trump gets elected, you are missing every potential lesson if what you take away is “leftists too mean.”

Yeah discouraging voters has never led anywhere bad before.

Being honest isn't discouraging, it's not being infantilizing.
