So...in response to the crass racist jokes at the MSG rally, Joe Biden called Trump's supporters "garbage." First, let me just say that part of me LOVES this version of Biden. This dude genuinely doesn't give a frick after being forced out of running for a second term. He says what he thinks and he's very off the cuff.
At the same time...this is giving basket of deplorable vibes. And that helped Hillary lose 2016. Attacking Trump's supporters will just galvanize them and maybe swing a few remaining fence sitters that way and uh...yeah. I honestly think trump screwed himself this weekend, but now harris might be screwed. Idk. We will see in a week, but uh....yeah. A lot of dems who remember 2016 are like "oh no, he didn't just say that..." right now. The collective PTSD runs deep. But yeah, he did.
"You're not wrong, Joe, you're just an ###hole..." as the saying goes. And yeah. He wasnt wrong, but he very much lacked tack that we seriously need. Of course, who knows, the dems seem to be at their best when they fight back so maybe this is what we need. We'll have to see.
