Enough already, folks. This is a serious election, not a late-night monologue.
Both sides should blame the other when they disagree, even calling them a threat to democracy if that’s what you want to do.
Political attacks should be policy attacks — that is, actual criticism that informs voters, not just because you think your opponent has a harsh laugh or is “weird” or has “odd” tastes.
With less than 100 days until Election Day, we need to see something substantive.
At the ballot box, focus on hitting your opponents where it hurts: policies, not personalities.
