Listen, Coach Fetterman: We love your size and bombastic past but "if you aren't for us you are against us" is not the type of faux populism that is needed in 2024.

    Yes it is. Don't want to vote for Biden because you're not so happy with him? How about Trump? Would you rather Trump?

    Here we are again in a forced choice, as if democracy exists in the US. But it's Biden or fascism.

    You're not going to make that outcome more likely by berating people.

    We're past the point of coddling people into seeing that Trump = bad. Lives will literally be at stake. We all need some sobering perspective about the reality of a 2nd Trump administration.

    Let me be more clear: Berating people is not just ineffective, but sabotages the outreach done by people who are actually focused on winning. No one actually working on voter outreach or political persuasion wants you doing that.

    Calling out Trump's ills is fine and good, but berating people to vote doesn't work, it's just something to make yourself feel good. If that's actually all you're trying to accomplish, fine, message boards can be stress relief and entertainment, but don't fool yourself into thinking you're working to avert a Trump return.
