Who exactly is he going to lose to? Not like any other candidate is opposed to war with Palestine.
The problem won't be people voting for republicans instead of Biden, but people choosing not to vote.
So business as usual? Less than 50% turnout (2021) and that's a sizeable increase from 39% (2016) of voters aged 18-29.
Well, we know who won in 2016. If we're back to those numbers, or maybe even below those numbers, that seems like a bit of a problem to me.
Can you blame them? People only voted for Biden in 2020 because he wasn't Trump. If the DNC can't even present another inspiring candidate, we should maybe consider being frustrated with the party itself and not take our anger out on everyone else.
It's tough. A 2-party system where one party wants to end democracy feels like it's already not much of a democracy at all. I can understand the frustration of having to vote the mediocre technocrat as "the lesser evil" each election. On the other hand, the prospect of a second Trump presidency is horrifying and would be a disaster for far more countries than just the US, so I'd still vote for Biden every time if I could.
Please vote Not Trump again. I can't deal with another 5 years of seeing that twat in the headlines unless he is having his fraudulent businesses dismantled and being sent to jail in those headlines.
It should scare you as it does me. Democrats strategy of people voting cause they're scared but not inspired is dumb and won't last forever.
Fucking right?! As much as Biden sucks, the alternative is soooooo much fucking worse for the Palestinian people, there is no telling what the US response would have been if 45 was still in office. Mfs forgot so fast how 45 wanted a straight up Muslim ban, and now Republicans are trying to expel Palestinian visas in the US. Shit would be 10x worse if the Republicans were in control of the executive branch.
