Why would you come with a campaign tweaked against a specific opponent and not with a program that is the best for the majority of the citizen? Politics is really stupid especially in 2024!

Yep. It's no longer about the policies or what we can do to improve the country and protect it.

It's all about framing and mudslinging and nothing more. Just look at the absolute insane level of astroturfing and bot spam over the last few days throwing absolutely everything at the wall to discredit and drum up hate against Harris.

All it is is a campaign to rile up right wingers to hate someone else. It's literally nothing more than this, there's no actual value to any of it it is the opposite of valuable to this country.

Here I was thinking it was a mistake for the Dems to have pushed Biden this far into the year.

It was certainly not on purpose, but it became a trap for the Reps. They played the Ad hominem card hard and it's blowing up on their face. And it doesn't help most of their attacks on Biden can now only be directed toward Trump.
