Most Republicans believed the birther argument re: Obama, so combatting stupid arguments may not be effective.
I’m not sure how this resolves itself.

Sanders is too busy trying to fix Americas problems to be drawn into petty attacks by trump.Biden's advantage is that he has a little of that "grandpa" charm that Trump's attacks are going to be odd against him. Against a lot of the frontrunners like Bernie, Warren, Harris, Buttieg, etc... Trump is going to have a lot of fun laying into them, and there's a chance people will respond to that. But Biden's baggage isn't stuff that I can see Trump trying very well to attack, so that's his big edge in my eyes. Not sure I'd take him first, but I could see an argument that he'd be the top choice. I also think he's less likely to get thrown off trying to respond to Trump's allegations, which I think could be a problem with Bernie/Warren, who are probably going to try to confront Trump's Lies. Whether that's the right strategy, hard to say.
At the end of the day you just need to make up 13,000 votes in Michigan, 27,000 in Wisconsin and 68,000 in Pennsylvania.
Anyone who voted for Hillary in 2016 is going to vote Dem again.
Travel bans, tax cuts for the rich, trade wars and tariffs, fellating dictators, Russia shit, Cohen cover up, tax return withholding, Charlottesville, Puerto Rico, babies in cages, cabinet members resigning in scandal, transgender military ban, covering for Saudi murder, drooling for a war in Iran, telling people to ignore subpoenas from Congress, abortion rights, climate change.
I probably forgot a few but surely, surely... that’s enough to rustle up 100k more votes in 3 states almost no matter who the nominee is.
Edit: Seeing a few places that my numbers are wrong and it’s actually 77,000 between those three states. Even better.
On a micro, individual level? Combat bad ideas. Don't allow stupidity to perpetuate in your presence.
On a macro level? Never support a politician that isn't for improving public education and other obvious fact based policies. Support them with your time and money if necessary.
The same people who didn't vote for Hillary are going to stay home for Biden.
Biden is the safe establishment bet and the Dems will have proven they have learned nothing at all from 2016 if they pick him.
The only hope biden has is that republicans sick of trump stay home.
Meanwhile sanders has a generation of young people looking for solutions to the problems the boomers have dumped on them ready to vote for him, but no.
there is a bit of a balance here
trump vs sanders might actually get trump voters out to vote more to stop the evil communist
there's no line.
people like to think the germans must have just been pure evil, but they were just human, and the line kept moving.
I forget where I read it but apparently the incumbent President gets re-elected overwhelmingly during times of war. If they’re pushing this war just to get reelection then that’s beyond evil. Innocent lives by the tens of thousands sacrificed for a second term?
There is no need for war with Iran, they aren’t the global threat being portrayed.
