"So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” Biden said.

    Crosshairs, in a bullseye. It’s the same thing. Republicans at the time were dismissive of the correlation like liberals are about this. Apparently Biden and Co see a connection too as they’ve removed all ads targeting trump.

      It’s extremely common to remove attack ads of any kind if something bad happens to your opponent. You might know that if you were an American.

          I’d be interested to hear whether you regularly attend funerals and speak ill of the deceased. They stop their ads for the same reason you don’t shit talk at a funeral: its disrespectful and makes you look like a prick.

                If I happen to attend their funeral and we are talking about them I might bring up them being an asshole. But this conversation has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand

                  I’m using an ✨analogy✨ to explain to you why, even if they are “serious about the topic in the ads”, they would stop them when someone dies or a tragedy occurs. Its not some conspiracy about “planned division”, it’s because speaking ill of someone under those circumstances makes you look like (and be) a disrespectful dick.

      I’m a liberal and I agree with you. Don’t use gun-related jargon to talk about your political opponent. Applies to Palin, applies to Biden.
