    The time is during the candidate’s term and in the Primaries.

    You think we had a primary?

    And during their term? That’s like saying the best time to negotiate price is after the sale is made…

    Your view only makes sense if you’re operating under the assumption the candidate won’t listen to any criticism or adjust their policy to align with Dem voters more and maximize their chances of winning the election.

    Biden isn’t the candidate anymore, Harris certainly isn’t perfect but I believe she’s at least willing to open a dialog with Dem voters, even after the shit that was pulled at the DNC where she did the opposite.

    Dem voters aren’t Republican voters, telling them to shut up and vote D depresses turnout, what improves Dem turnout is the candidate listening to voters so that they feel part of the party and more likely to support the candidate, even if the candidates position doesn’t change.

    It’s really as easy as that to boost Dem turnout.

    It’s only bad for the Dem candidate if they act like a spoiled toddler who’s told there’s no ice cream till the vegetables are gone

        Yeah…I thought you might be reasonable, but this? This proves you aren’t reasonable.

        Can you try again but this time not violate this subs rules?

        I didn’t bother reading the rest when the very first sentence is an insult

        Edit:

        Rule 3 in case you can’t see the sidebar:

        Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

          I just called you unreasonable. We’ll see if the mods think that’s a violation of the TOS. Have a nice life, either way.

            It’s literally right there…

            By your own admission:

            I just called you unreasonable

            That’s against civility rules.

            But what I said still stands, if you try again without the civility breaking parts, I’m willing to spend some time to help you understand.
