    The Republicans are going to accuse Biden of mocking Trump during this anyway. As soon as they start on it, frankly the Biden campaign should just turn the negative ad machine back on.

    Talking heads on CNfuckinN were calling for Biden to suspend his campaign because of this and the worst thing is I can almost see him doing it

    Friendly reminder that this is the Kentucky* candidate that establishment Dems backed and funneled tens of millions of dollars into, instead of the actual grassroots-movement-backed black candidate, despite the fact that she polls horribly against McConnell.

    *Why the fuck is she putting ads in Ohio at all?????

    God the Democratic party is fucking evil.

    But he absolutely would have done better, and nothing anyone can tell me will convince me otherwise

    Cincinnati's media market covers a lot of Kentucky. It's right on the border of the state.

    Not that I'm defending this FUCKING STUPID move. But that's why.

    Remember when that Republican office got torched and Democrats donated to rebuild it and the Republicans were so grateful and the nation was healed well this is like that time let's do this again

    I don't want Trump to die I just don't care if he dies. Because he's an asshole and because he has done everything in how power to bring it upon himself. Same goes for most of the leadership that will also catch it in this outbreak. I do feel bad for all the government employees he's exposed and their families though.

    I'm not gonna hold any politician in a negative light for "wishing Trump well" because it's a meaningless platitude. Biden temporarily pulling negative ads might be smart or not. I dunno how that plays with the larger democratic electorate. It's worth remembering that the American public is way, way, way less left than forum thread. *shrug*

    All the speculation that theyd have to carry him out of the White House was premature. They'll have to carry him out of Walter Reed

    It’s the same with why we get so many Iowa ads here. Omaha media market covers a large swath of western Iowa too.

    cincinnati's right on the border between kentucky and ohioh, to the point where a lot of its suburbs are on the kentucky side

    so at the very least that part of it makes sense

    fwiw re: biden pulling negative ads, the reports are that this was a decision the campaign arrived at before trump got covid

    it was a conscious decision to reframe the campaign in a vacuum

    Amy McGrath's ads are incredibly stupid and, frankly, I wish if we were going to do pointless shots at senior Republicans in super R-districts we did the GOP thing and just put somebody on the far end of the party out there to get those views heard.

    Biden pulling negative ads seems fine. It's free positive coverage and since it pre-empts "Biden is ghoulishly taunting our glorious leader as he recovers" it might actually hurt any rally round the flag effect. But also punditry is stupid and I'll do 10 pushups as penance for even thinking in this sort of way for a post.

    I wouldn't put it past Trump to pull something like that rather than skip the debate at the last second.

    like I keep harping on McGrath but it's one of the worst things the Democratic party has done this year (which is saying a fucking lot) and is so emblematic of why they're such a dogshit party that is only palatable because their opponents are fucking cartoon level evil.

    Important to point out that McConnell has fucked them by not allowing them to virtually vote but instead have to be on the floor

    if these ghouls hadn't spent the last six months making shit even more miserable for the rest of us than it usually is i might have some sympathy for their impending debilitating illnesses/possible deaths, but hey it turns out that that is exactly what they have been doing!

    in any case my sympathy gland is dried up from being constantly worried sick for the millions of poor folks who've caught the rona or are losing their jobs or getting evicted or getting brutalized by the police for protesting police brutality

    fuck these people. i don't hope they die because their deaths won't really fix anything, but i'm not sorry for them even a little bit

    The only way this could get more poetic is if McConnell got it

    But somehow I don't think he will

    I'm personally a little grossed out by people already dancing on Trump's grave, but I ain't going to shame anyone for it. (And the positive vibes that have resulted from this news are refreshing after fours years of shitfests and near misses) I'm honestly more angry than anything. Fuckers put themselves, those around them, the entire nation and possibly democracy itself in danger because the stupid orange bastard they leashed themselves to was too insecure and full of himself to follow the safety recommendations put out by his own fucking Center for Disease Control.

    also while there are only 7 pages left in this thread so i don't think it's a big deal to split it now, we should definitely split up "BLM" and "trump has covid lol" into two threads once we hit page 100
