Oh good, the Biden campaign is pulling all advertising which is negative to Trump. Fucking great. God damn, they want to lose the election even harder than I thought they did!

Have you considered that perhaps they are trying to go from the disaster that was the debate to a more dignified means of winning the election, i.e. proving that you are a good choice for President rather than that the other guy is just a terrible choice?

I for one hate how 90% of political ads are "the other person sucks" rather than why I should vote for them at all.

As for why biden's doing that, he probably doesn't want to look bad punching down on someone who might be on a ventilator in the next two days or so.

Yes, I am aware of the incredibly fucking dumb theory of politics that the Democrats operate under. Even when real people are waiting with baited breath to hear Trump go into a coma, they have to have their West Wing fanfic "high road". They're very good at using it to lose.

Sanders didn't run any personal attack ads, right? It's a decent stance to take if it's actually about committing to a consistent message and acting on it, but only making the change immediately after the opponent falls ill feels much worse. This sounds like cultivating the image of decency rather than Biden actually having anything substantial to say about how campaigns are done in America.

from the same person mind you who found it loathsome that I'd mock anti abortion propaganda
Uh, that's not what I said, what I said I found loathsome was your deliberately insulting and self-satisfied attitude toward someone whose views (on abortion) you disagreed with. Which is still the same thing you're doing here.

Yes, and that was a fucking stupid thing to do. That is what happens when you let yourself be infected by liberalism. Today, Sanders is off campaigning for his Good Friend Joe who's gonna lose the election and plunge us even faster into hell.

Hopefully the current state of liberalism will die when Joe Biden loses to Mike Pence.

Fascistic how I spit on the notion of genocide. Your name was never more apt.
Since you mention it, replacing questions of fact with questions of moral purity ("is X true" vs "is X right") and declaring people Bad for not even agreeing with, but only talking about something contrary to your political position is pretty fascistic, yes. The very fact that you say you spit on the "notion", the concept, not the practice, but that you actually refuse to countenance a worldview in which genocide is a real thing that can be spoken about instead of merely "spat on" with emotional appeals... is very much fascistic.

Given how divisive this election is, and how often Trump does and says things to remind people where they stand in regards to him, would attacks ads make any difference at all? I mean, you don't need an ad to tell you Trump is an assface shit-for-brains, Trump does that already for free.

I think I've discovered some kind of new emotion in these past twenty minutes. I am actually not even moving from my spot, just sitting here marinating in this new weird level of rage over what Biden has done, and was apparently planning to do before Trump was hospitalized. It's like something out of a parody video.

I can't even respond to this kind of anger. It's all at once bewildering and yet, it's exactly what I've always thought about the Democrats. There's nothing I can do. This country is terminally stupid in every possible direction at once and we're all going to die because of it.
