Projection is the sincerest form of flattery, I guess. I mean, Obama didn’t fix Covid-19 even though it didn’t exist when he was President, and now Biden isn’t doing anything to fix it or the economy or quell the protests just because of the technicality that he hasn’t been elected yet. The most important thing is NOTHING is ever, ever Trump’s fault.

One of the funniest things about this election is the Trump campaign’s utter failure to demonize Uncle Joe. Biden’s white and a man so he has that going for him, and the fact is Americans just don’t find him scary. The worst the GOP has been able to come up with is accusing him of being senile – and with President I-Can-Identify-a-Picture-of-an-Elephant-What-a-Stable-Genius in the White House that’s a tough sell. Oh, and also claiming Biden’s a puppet of the left wing; except every time Biden opens his mouth he sounds like a moderate Democrat.

Biden's running a decent campaign so far, and that's good. What I fear is going on with the constant "I can identify an elephant" garbage is DJT's trying to bait Uncle Joe into taking some sort of a cognitive test (a replay of Warren's DNA futility).

It doesn't matter what Biden says, what he does, what his history is, what what the voters see with their own eyes or hear with their own ears. Joe Biden is . . .

. . . the most ultra-extreme leftwing leftist since Karl Marx stalked the Earth. Biden is Pol Pot, Joe Stalin, and Adolf Hitler all rolled into one. He's an autocratic strongman who is so weak he's going to take away all your freedoms and give them to minorities.

About 25% of the likely voters are voting against Trump

Vote for Biden, vote against Trump--either way, the orange bolus gets ejected!

I thought that “You won’t be safe” ad was beyond parody, but I failed to take your imagination into account. I won’t make that mistake again. Looking forward to your take on Trump’s attack ads about some stupid thing Biden did in 1985.

They won’t have to go anywhere near as far back as 1985 to find some stupid thing Biden said or did (try yesterday!), but their problem is that anything they can criticize Biden for, Trump has done something literally dozens of times worse.

That was sorta my point. Why do they have to reach all the way back to pre-hair implant Biden to attack him? And don't they know how much embarrassing shit Trump did in the 80's? There is no point in time when Trump's behavior isn't exponentially worse than Biden's.

The other ad they just started here says under Biden, 911 will be outsourced to private contractors. Why does that also sound like projection? "Eric Prince 911 Services, please enter your credit card number..."

This ad, of course, has already been made except for the last part and The Lincoln Project has made a similar ad against Trump. The whole Apres moi, le chaos schtick isn’t working if the suburban moms and dads are coming out against Trump’s goons.

Apres moi, le chaos! LOL

TBH, this one was too funny to read. I could only parse it.

Notwithstanding the lulz, the very sad reality is that the following maybe don't make for a winning platform:

Killing Americans;

Allowing your party to impose and economic depression;

Illegal arrests by storm troopers; and

Running as a racist seeking election to the presidency of the Confederacy.

See, https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/who-s-behind-trump-s-big-polling-deficit-two-key-n1234605

And a thought experiment: Which will come first: Donnie flat out saying, without qualification, that everyone should where masks pending an available vaccine or 200,000 Americans dead from Covid, more of them than not due to Donnie and the GOP's historic mishandling of the pandemic? And if one leans towards the former, how many will have died of Covid when Donnie says what any responsible POTUS would say given the circumstances?

Should be part of the winning platform:

Ever growing more unhinged because who doesn't what a deranged POTUS?

Oh, the horror! Biden's Amerika is just like Trump's! Only worse! I can't outdo you, Roy.

Desperation. His ratings are low, the stunt programming isn't working, and he's about to be cancelled. Live by the Nielsen, die by the Nielsen.

It's not dumbass dotard DJT I'm worried about - it's the Stephen Miller's and the rest of the fascist toadies that DJT has around him. America has never seen an election like the one that's coming up - there will be troops in the streets of the cities (at least democratic ones) and vote suppression at polling places.

Why do I feel like I'm living in a Latin American dictatorship? No need to answer, the question is rhetorical.

Bravo! Yeah, just like when that black fella was in the "White House," things were just really bad even thought they were just like the first two years of Trump's make America Great presidency! Because after all a black guy was president! It was awful! I was angry every time I thought about it. Now when I'm starving, and if it weren't for the free food at Church I'd be dead, I'm really mad, too, but happy about the fact a fat white guy is in charge again!

This is a spot-on satire of the ads they're already running. Here's a thought. Since Karl Rove would always go after an opponent's greatest strength, and Biden's greatest advantage is that he is not Donald Trump, once they run through Roy's Joe Biden's America, they'll have to go after his not-Trumpness. We'll see ads just like the Swiftboating of John Kerry that feature people who worked in government "with" Joe Biden testifying how Joe is really just like Trump: he's a fascist who lies all the time, stiffs his employees, fucks pornstars, even grabs pussies. "Joe Biden says he's not like Trump. Don't believe him. He's more Trump than Trump is! So vote for Donald Trump. He's the only candidate who doesn't lie about who he really is."

"people who worked in government 'with' Joe Biden testifying how Joe is really just like Trump..." IT. COULD. WORK!
