Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump
Democratic strategists, liberal pundits are making a living off doubting President Joe Biden's viability in the 2024 presidential election. Why?
While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden's Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he's too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and ... well, disappointed in Biden or not, I'm voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe's tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn't want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

Alright guys, get your Lemmy Political Retard bingo card out! Let's see how many we can hit! I already got the system is fucked and are we really reduced to these choices?. Oh! I just got democrats need to pull their head out of their ass!
Okay. Vote for a literal Nazi or don't vote for anyone and let a literal Nazi tale office, again.
Either way, I don't really give a flying fuck what you get on your political bingo card, you enabled a literal fucking Nazi tale the office, again and I'll think you're an abject idiot so I guess we'll all good.
what does "literal" mean?
Supporting the literal policies of nazis and copying their rhetorics and power structures and beliefs.
The republicans are knowingly and wilfully hosting and supporting actual neonazis who do all this and admit to be neonazis, and then the republicans yell free speech and cancel culture if you call them out for it
That depends on what your definition of "is" is.
Part of the National Socialist German Workers' Party
Vote for a literal Nazi
I was going to vote for a third party who was neither a Nazi nor a geriatric buffoon.
you enabled a literal fucking Nazi tale the office
My guy, you need to sit down and look up what the Electoral College is. No single person is in any way remotely responsible for Donald Trump's presidency, except maybe the 304 electoral college delegates who had the privilege of being in the majority in January of 2016.
Trying to blame individual voters in a system that deliberately disempowers individual voters is ignorant and foolish.
My guy, you need to sit down and look up what the electoral college is.
Hillary lost Michigan by 10k votes, one of the key states whose 16 electoral votes were a major train went despite Hillary winning the popular vote, that fat, orange, white supremacist won the election.
You say a single voter doesn't matter but when you currently have 100k in Michigan voting 'uncommited' in the Democratic primary against the backdrop of you lost an entire god damn election by 10k, yeah maybe that single voter might actually be important. But you just keep that head in the sand and mumble how or can't ever happen again.
Hillary lost Michigan by 10k votes
Hillary lost Michigan for the same reason Romney lost Michigan. She campaigned on a platform of international trade deals and domestic deindustrialization. Folks in the Midwest consistently hate that.
Biden's running a ten-point approval gap relative to Gretchen Whitmer, doing all the annoying toxic shit Hillary did. If he loses Michigan in November, that's why.
You say a single voter doesn’t matter but when you currently have 100k in Michigan voting ‘uncommited’ in the Democratic primary
100k is a lot more than a single voter. And this is an entirely unforced error on Biden's part. He's continuing to sponsor a nightmarish genocide in Palestine - one that virtually nobody in his party actually supports and which has poisoned huge swaths of the independent electorate against his presidency.
That's not something a "single voter" can fix. That's a direct consequence of Biden's own foreign policy. The only voter who can save Joe Biden from a loss in Michigan is Joe Biden.
