Just gonna chime in, I don't think constructive criticism is always concern trolling. I know most people already made up their minds about voting, but I do know some people on the fence who let stupid optics like "muh unhinged, rude drumpf" affect their decision. Would have liked Trump to clarify the charlottesville stuff, and the double standard of dems saying "its only a few bad eggs causing violence in BLM riots" compared to the reality of only a few 'white supremists' existing in charlottesville. The dem response to blm riots is the same as trumps response to charlottesville (that there are good AND bad people involved, it isn't all one or the other) and tbh trumps response about charlottesvile back then WAS better than the dem response to the riots now (he explictly did condemn the kkk and WS back then, and then clarified that not everyone there was involved w those groups) but tonight he didn't clarify any of that (I know ideally he shouldnt even have to repeat himself like that, but we are up against fake news) so I think that was a mistake. So normies are prob gonna buy into 'he doesnt wanna condem le nazis!!"
it sucks because it shouldnt matter, but its what we have to deal with.
I respect your opinion but Trump's strategy was to divide biden's base, not grow his own. He simply went for the higher hanging fruit. It's okay that you disagree, I don't think you're a concern troll, but I can tell you living in a kind of weird democrat/conservative place that his strategy 100% worked. He didn't lose any of us, he divided Biden's base straight down the middle and he even won over some of the people who look at superficial optics that you're talking about (not on this specific issue, but on hunter and a couple other things). The media may be talking about this issue but it wasn't THE watercooler issue people actually talked about irl. Just something to consider.
