yeah man, denigrate them more, that'll surely get them on your side! maybe a touch more smug condescension? anything except engaging with their concerns, of course.

I call conservatives dumb too.

These people aren’t special. Just a different kind of dumb.

Similar in the way they vote against their own interests.

personally, I think ignoring the concerns of voters in a historically very important swing state months before the election is a recipe for a disastrous rerun of 2016, and should be avoided if you're actually concerned with winning, protecting democracy, etc. but I guess we'll see if the strategy of "fuck you, vote for me" works out this time 🤷
