Nasty Rhetoric Strategy
This race-baiting strategy of calling anyone who doesn't vote Democrat racists, fascists, white supremacists, etc, which the Democratic party has embraced more and more over the past decade, is hard to understand.
I get why Biden is doing this now, his handlers think that they've already lost the swing voters in the midterms, so to try and mitigate the damage, they think that insulting half of the country might rally their base.
But you need swing voters to win elections. In 2016, Trump won 208 counties that Obama won. Swing voters are extremely important, especially in Presidential elections. By using this kind of extreme rhetoric, don't you take the risk of alienating swing voters for this and future elections?
I still think the best campaign policy is to lay out how you plan on help working class people.
