What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

    They can’t remember further back than the last media cycle, and the can’t think forward further than a week.

    I guarantee at least some, likely all of these people were fucking pissed about the death of Roe. They learned nothing. Absolutely nothing.

      You know what’s worse than denial of the right to choose? Genocide. That’s what we got for electing Joe Biden last time. Fool me once, etc, etc.

        … completely ignoring the only other option was “even more genocide than that”. We didn’t get genocide because we elected Joe Biden. We got genocide because right wingers in Israel want to conduct a genocide. Removing Biden from the equation and replacing him with Trump does not improve the situation. Doing that would be the actual foolish move.

          We got genocide because Biden refuses to hold Israel accountable for its actions like even Ronald Reagan did. Don’t pretend that he doesn’t have blood on his hands.

            You keep ignoring the fact that Trump would be worse and it makes you look like a shill

          So why not just say “I will not run for reelection, I have too much controversy, let’s run someone else.”?

          Instead they are just barreling on with this motherfucker.

          Edit: To to too.

            Because the incumbency advantage is incredibly powerful, Biden has beaten Trump before, and no other viable Democrats have indicated they want to run this election. I too would prefer someone else but it’s not like Biden there aren’t solid strategic reasons to run him again.

              If Biden steps down then the dnc won’t be holding everyone else from stepping up.

              Or maybe he could just STOP SENDING BOMBS and we would have much less of an issue.

              If it’s too much trouble to get enough Americans to decide that we should stop sending bombs to kill kids then we deserve what we get
