i’m not saying that that isn’t big news, i’m just saying that Trump’s pedophilic tendencies have already been known to all of the people that might read a news article about the new details from the Epstein papers. Trump has also done 10x more things that are equally ugly and disgusting. I just don’t think there’s a point to reporting “Trump is gross and evil” anymore. Everyone knows and has made up their mind about him.
Id argue a lot of the same undecided voters might not have heard this before, and might be swayed. (Also might be swayed learning about project 2025 etc.)
But the more we belabour Biden being old and needing to be replaced, the same undecided (not paying as much attention) voters might think there’s something wrong with him and sit out, or vote for Trump. I think that’s the danger of focusing on this too much
To woo voters, I think we should all write the White House and ask for a new candidate with a, “No Kings allowed” message – probably our VP, Kamala Harris. I think it would get the undecided to pay attention for a minute. I want her (or anyone) out there saying things like, “Dictator? We founded our nation because we knew Monarchs – and autocrats in general – were a bad idea!” and, “Nazis? White Nationalism? How many of you have family members who were killed or injured fighting that war? We know we don’t want that here. We know how that turns out if unopposed!”
Lastly, the new message should be about government serving the PUBLIC instead of itself.
