Hillary lost in part because she made little effort to appeal to Republicans and dismissed people as deplorable.
What did Trump do to appeal to Dem voters in 2016, exactly? In what way did Bush appeal to Democratic voters?

Why would you want Biden to move away from a working tactic and morph into a blue Trump?
Wow, opposition to Trump really is just about aesthetics with you, isn't it?

I can see the logic of this, but 'rub their nose it' correctives don't usually involve giving them a dog biscuit immediately afterwards, to extend the metaphor. This would be confusing to them.
