And I expect anyone who disagrees will be called a bigot themselves, so it’s impossible to disprove. (Gotta admit you did a bang up job with the Romany, though.)

Biden is certainly not with me on numerous policy positions, presumably because he thinks a more moderate position is more electable. My advocacy isn’t harming the chances of Trump being removed from office.

True. But I’ve seen plenty of people on here say they couldn’t possibly compromise on any of their principles, and if that means the Democrats lose again, so be it. Can’t remember if you were one of them, but that shows they don’t really think Trump is such a big deal.
