It's less about sympathy I think and more just Biden not wanting to look like a bully

That's good. It's not a good look for him to wish pain and misfortune on Trump.

It's ok for others to though. Trump does deserve pain and misfortune, and his death would cause much less destruction for the world than him winning.

Why should Biden pull these Ads? Because Trump has corona? Let this be an example to the people. Democrats are too fucking soft. It is not bullying someone to run the same negative ads you were running before they got Corona. This is why Democrats always let republicans push them around. The two party system sucks but they are in it and they don't know how to fucking play it at all

It's actually a smart move from Biden. As much as we....have our opinions on this, probably a bad move to attack a man with a potentially fatal illness right before an election.

A lot of people "on the fence" might see that as a potential tipping point, and as stupid as that'd be, Biden's gonna need all the support he can get.

The point is that Democrats are aiming for a more unifying message than the Republicans' penchant for stirring chaos. We live in a democracy of over 300 million people, not some fucking tribe in the rain forest.

Work on unifying once you win the election. Pulling ads in the closing lap of a fiercely divided election is not going to do a single thing.

I think that, on the off-chance that Trump dies, it would be incredibly bad optics to have been running attack ads while your opponent lay dying.

as much as Trump brought all this on himself, and deserves to be called out, the Biden camp is probably making the smart play.

Too many dorkaroos are still undecided, and Trumps unhinged debate performance did some damage in that demo. Taking the nice guy route might make Biden even more palatable to those people.

The fact that Trump is being hospitalized for Coronavirus should be the wakeup call to his base of deniers, not pulling ads that were all ready running before the man got sick. Dems need the vote at all costs, no one is going to change their mind about voting for Trump because Biden classily stopped running ads.

If "being a nice guy" was a top priority for any voter, they wouldn't be undecided between Biden and Trump.............

As far as his campaign team goes, Trump is still raring to go, and backing off now is akin to the hero turning his back on the downed villain only to be immediately struck from behind.

People, as a general rule, dont have values. They benefit from the status quo and dont need to have values. Their priority is what guy is gonna change things for my lifestyle the least?

the reason a bunch of people are undecided is because Trump is the incumbent and their lifestyle hasnt changed much. If anything, seeing Trump complain about Coronavirus measures probably helped him with them (until now), since, if neither they nor anyone they knew got sick, theyd assume its not a big deal. Trump would look like a guy trying to keep the comfortable status quo against uppity liberals overhyping a flu.

The idea isnt to be nice for the sake of being nice, but to capitalize on the cracks Trumps debate performance put in the trust of that status quo.

Will you quit acting like a child? Democrats don't let Trump off the hook, he's literally scrutinized for everything he says and does. Democrats don't appeal to the lizard brains like Republicans do, so attacking a president while he's sick isn't going to do much to sway people that aren't already so easily consumed by primitive emotions.
