    I really don’t see how the DNC can pull out a win unless they pull out all support from Israel and/or toss Biden and bring on someone younger, with broader appeal and higher energy.

    They win by hammering the point that a Trump victory means the end of the US in its current form. No hyperbole.

      Doubtful that that will bring out voters. Historically, voters voting for something outperform voters voting against something.

        You really don’t think that preventing a national ban on abortion will bring out voters? How about a reversal on tackling climate change? Maybe voting to stop a slide into christofascist authoritarianism?

        Come on.

          Not as much as promising to implement national bans on abortion, slowing climate change action, and implementing more “christian values” would among conservative voters, no.

          Democrat voters have to hold their nose and vote for Biden, largely. Some people still genuinely like him, sure, but compared to Trump, who has a unified base and full support, the Democrats are fractured.

      Republicans are already blaming that rhetoric for the assassination attempt. So democrats are going to tone that kind of messaging way down for fear of inciting more political violence.
