Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?

That’s a super dumb take. He’s made/is making a shitload of decision that negatively affected millions.

That’s not what I said. I said that the things you mentioned about him don’t affect the average person’s life in any tangible way, not that his actions in general don’t affect them.
Perhaps, if the democrats spent more time focusing on those tangible things and distinguishing themselves on policy and less time focusing on his personal character, they might have had a chance.

Was laying out project 2025 and January 6th not enough? lol they’re just too dumb

January 6th is not distinguishing on policy, it’s another example of focusing on character in a way that doesn’t have any direct, material impact on people’s lives.
Project 2025, Trump disavowed, and I don’t recall democrats really focusing on specific points from it that would materially impact people’s lives. Telling people to read a 900 page document that Trump claims not to support is not enough, no.
