The anti-Trump people are upset because they know this will actually hurt Joe Biden.
If by ‘bring people together’ you mean become so self-centered or avaricious that you’re willing to help #TrumPutin and the oligarchs turn the US into an authoritarian hellscape. #NoThankYouPlease !!! #VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020 pic.twitter.com/NxRI0LleC1

Justin, please be sure you’re not sinking Biden and helping Trump win four more years.

(But Biden needs MI’s 10 EV.)

You’re only helping Trump by doing this, Congressman.
