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

    “We need to be toothless about our criticism of Biden” FTFY

    The threat of making your candidate lose is the only power you have to shift them.

    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
