    It’s all just right wing propaganda, convince the population ‘Biden is bad, take your ball and go home’ and you suppress the vote. They can’t institute poll taxes or tests any more, and with vote by mail becoming commonplace they can’t rely on showing up at polling places with guns to suppress turnout.

    When more people vote the left wins, and that’s what the right are afraid of, thus the persistent drumbeat of ‘stay home if he’s not good enough’.

      biden isn’t on the left, so whether he wins or trump, the left does not win.

      It’s crazy a comment like this gets so many upvotes when

      1. Thousands of registered democrats have voted “uncommitted” in primaries around the country. Most notably Michigan.
      2. People are clearly worried about Biden’s chances in 2024 despite his win in 2020. Which means somebody who voted for Biden in 2020 won’t in 2024.

      If you shut every one of these conversations down with baseless accusations that 20/20 hindsight is gonna be super awkward when someone asked “Who could have seen this coming??”

        Concerned, yes, and made all the more so when there are a sizable number of people willing to throw a vote out to make a point because he’s not flawless and instead let the wolves in while they pretend that their hands are clean.

        Wtf does this have to do with anything about the comment you’re replying to?

        If you shut every one of these conversations down with baseless accusations that 20/20 hindsight is gonna be super awkward when someone asked “Who could have seen this coming??”

        There will be no questions about what happened in that case. It will be because of YOU and people like you posting this shit

          You’re telling me you believe voters need to cater to politicians? It’s Biden’s responsibility to represent the people he needs to get elected. His failure to do that is is own. What don’t you understand about democracy?

    That’s what I don’t understand.

    Biden is wildly unpopular for more reasons than he can fix before the election.

    If beating trump is all that matters, why the fuck are we running Joe Biden against him?

    The party learned nothing from Hillary. Or they’d rather have trump than someone who agrees with voters.

      Because Biden decided Trump is so awful he can still win.

      “the party learned nothing from Hilary” I think they learned a few things, even if not as much as we’d like. They did turn down the power superdelegates have in primaries, for example. Moving in the right direction, even a little, is more than “nothing”.
