Republican voters keep voting against welfare, social security, and healthcare. They are the people more likely to need government assistance. Not all people care about policies.
A lot of Republican voters believe whatever their preacher tells them. Many of them are indoctrinated into a cult. Some of them see Democrats not practicing what they preach, and say.. hey, if they're not going to be honest might as well trust this other guy more. Some of them are malicious and believe they'll get tax cuts and less regulation to profit.
Democrats though need to focus on a message of providing for the American people. Not all Republicans are lost causes. In the end, the role of a President isn't to only take care of the people that voted for you. The more you can rally around talking about how Kamala or whoever is nominated and what they plan and will do for America, to help with inflation, house prices, regulation, jobs & opportunities, etc, the more you'll get people interested.
If you just want to talk about how stupid you think Republicans are, then your message isn't going to be very strong.
This has nothing to do with insulting stupid Republicans and more to do with showing logic to the logical. If they think Biden is too old to run 4 years ago, then Trump is too old to run now.
Its admirable that you care so much about being fair that you're worried that they might be too easy to beat with their star player being handicapped. Now if you believe them winning means they'll create a fascist America afterwards, then I'd prefer their star player be handicapped.
