    Exactly my thoughts. True though it may be, denigrate the leader, not his followers. Kamala didn’t fall for that obvious trap in her Fox interview, and now Biden’s made up for that. You never call voters stupid. Especially when they very much are.

      That’s one advantage Biden has right now: since he’s no longer running, he can speak the truth without it impacting his campaign.

      Yeah, surely a party that calls their opponents criminals, pedophiles, paid actors, and cheaters repeatedly in every rally would be making a dire mistake that would remove them from any reasonable chance of contention.

      Maybe civility politics is just a stupid illusion.
