This is really clever if you're okay with convincing yourself that you know exactly and completely what other people believe.. Otherwise it's a reductionist hot take filled with logical fallacy.

Looks like the campaign has a whole bunch of things besides "orange man bad". All there on the official page easy to find.
It seems like someone saying the entire campaign is "orange man bad" hasn't bothered to listen to anything being said and is just focusing on the most salient point in a bad faith effort to discredit them.

"Be more than just orange man bad"
Here's a list
"Kamala bad"
I thought we were asking for more than just "opposition bad"?
But if we're going the "opposition bad" route find me a single item in that list that Trump wouldn't make worse.
You know, the entire topic of the thread: even if Kamala isn't good, Trump is significantly worse in every way, and one of them will be president.
Wow, it's almost as if someone being bad can be for multiple reasons!
Yeah, for instance: funding a genocide, xenophobic immigration policy, building the wall, dropping the ball on covid right before delta/omicron, a lack of healthcare reform, the inability to protect abortion rights, being a cop, denigrating anti-genocide protestors, racially profiling Muslims at your events
"I was robbed"
"I blame you more than the thief because you should have protected your stuff better!"
It's not the democratic politicians who were robbed. It's the democratic politicians who were complicit in us getting robbed of our rights.
