As a trivial example but illuminating all the same, it would have been much easier for me to make the case against AFFH to my local community before Trump got vocal about it. Before it could have been an argument about density and congestion, now I’d be viewed as trying to protect the suburbs from people of color.
Situations like that are exactly what need to be examined.
I understand that anything Trump's vocal about becomes radioactive, but I don't see how voting for the guy the radicals want on the other side is a good idea, especially when it's that side that's burning down buildings and destroying the reputations of randos daily, not the right.
It'd be better if we didn't have someone so divisive to represent the GOP, but that's what we have.

The strategy of electing Trump-like candidates to defeat other extremes needs to be examined with regard to the results obtained to date.
I don't like the strategy at all, I think it's stupid and damaging. But he's president. That means he runs. So the choices are Trump and Biden.
I agree with jon that it's going to take moderates to push back against the radical left. But how is a Biden administration going to lead to that?

As far as I can tell, Biden is moderate, but weak.
What you need is Tony Blair.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAARGHHHH!

Biden may not even be here in 24 months. Ask yourself what would Harris do?

Yeah, you said Hillary was at death's door 4 years ago, too.
Trump might not be here in 4 years, either. I'm not particularly fond of Mike Pence.

I said Hillary was not well. She wasn't. She also was 68, not 78.

I must admit, I don't understand the American penchant for electing geriatrics.
Everybody else retires at 65. I think it's a good idea.

The company, which offers a platform for users to rate places like restaurants, small businesses and popular tourist sites, said in a statement on Thursday that it would use a “business accused of racist behavior” alert when there was “resounding evidence” that a business owner or employee had taken racist actions, including the use of racist slurs or symbols. This alert will always link to a news article from a “credible media outlet,” Yelp said, without elaborating on which news organizations they considered to be credible or how it defined “resounding evidence.”
Yelp’s announcement raised questions about how the company will enforce the initiative — and how it will ensure that businesses were not falsely associated with racism or the target of defamatory reviews, which can significantly damage a business. Companies like Google and Facebook have also grappled with the difficult issues of moderating users on their online platforms.
Hey, Yelp! Is Business Insider a "credible media outlet?"
