    “because you need to pressure and criticize Biden without actually making him lose”

    Next time you’re negotiating for a car, see how much the seller budges after you preceed negotiations with “Now, I am fully committed and happy paying sticker price, but how much can you lower the price?”

    Edit: at least have the intellectual honesty to say out loud that Biden could do anything, and you’d still vote for him
