Countering Trump

Focus on his obvious frailties as a person.

His terrible hair, his unhealthy overweight body, his sickly orange skin, the smell that follows him around. His mental frailties, poor memory, barely passing a test for Alzheimer's and boasting about it.

His cowardice for dodging the draft, his poor business skills, so many failed businesses and bankruptcies, his disloyalty, so many of his former allies that he threw under the bus, he cheated on his wife, his taxes, paid for abortions, raped women, cheats at golf...

Show him up to be the small frail, incompetent bitter, whiney, stupid, old decrepit man that he is. And show how he actually hates America and democracy

Run multiple candidates to steal votes from Biden.

Yes, and just because Biden is also weak to some of those challenges, doesn't mean Biden shouldn't also use them against Trump.

Trump fans won't be turned on policy. They are emotionally connected to Trump and what they think he stands for. He needs to be shown for the embarrassment, the pathetic creature that he is.

While the most extremist trump fans will literally wear adult nappies to support him, the swing voters will be more easily turned off him if they associate him with all of the disgusting character and physical traits he has

You have to bait him

He could come out with anything in response or do anything in response

I would make sure to use small words and crayon drawings, because Trump voters are really, really stupid.

Thats not even joking. "Intelligent" campaign strategies are likely going to be too sophisticated for the types of people who currently worship Trump. They will go right over their heads.

Just take the inverse of Biden and run them against Trump. I'm serious. It would be best to have someone young and charismatic, a good public speaker and an all-around good communicator preferably handsome too. They need to understand and dissect all the standard right-wing conspiracies and talking points. They must understand the post-truth philosophy and all its implications. They can't be seen as "woke" (right-wing definition[s]) so no black, female lesbians for the foreseeable future. IMHO it's borderline criminal to be inserting people into the campaign based on how many diversity ticks they have instead of the singular matter of fighting back fascism and their ability to accomplish this. I'm lookin at you, Kamala Harris.

Stop with the identity politics.

they sort of need to, in the old days is was more class based, now the identity politics is falling apart , its obvious that plenty of minorities will vote Republican now

trump supporters seem to kinna like this kinna stuff, im not sure it would discourage them…

…its a bit of a mess really, a terrible opponent, and a country in complete disarray, both parties have done an enormous amount of damage to the country…..

Sorry that part of the post was intended as a tongue in cheek comment vs the rational comments that followed.

The shooter was a white male registered republican and member of the NRA. Hardly a democrat.

The way I see it is this election is Bidens to lose. Hopefully he does not but he needs to say and do what people here have said about how bad Trumps last term in office was and all the bad things about him.

Ah ok, I agree that someone like Obama would be needed to beat Trump now. Biden could have come out and stated that he wouldn't be running again last year and he would have been remembered as the guy who bet Trump and saved democracy. Instead, he'll be remembered as the guy who put his ego above all else and lost the presidency to Trump.

I can imagine a lot of Democrats wearing "Lets Go Brandon" shirts after November.
