Joe Biden’s campaign is facing a strategic dilemma. Since the president’s job-approval ratings have been consistently low, his path to reelection depends on making 2024 a comparative choice between himself and Donald Trump, his scary, extremist predecessor. That task is becoming more urgent as evidence emerges that a sizable number of voters either don’t remember or misremember the four turbulent years of the Trump administration. But paradoxically, educating voters about the potential consequences of a Biden defeat could annoy and alienate them by pushing Trump fatigue to new heights.
People haven’t forgotten. That’s not the issue Biden is facing.
One, fatigue isn’t about forgetting, it’s about not caring. Second, more than one problem can exist at once.
“Trump fatigue” is not why Biden will lose if he does. He has alienated the people who care the most. That is his singular failure in all of this that will cost him his win, a product of total hubris.
I doubt that. If they truly care the most, they’ll vote to make sure Trump loses.
Or they’ll not vote for Biden, since it’s unconscionable to vote for him and reward Democrats for supporting genocide. This is the problem he has created for himself, he’s made it morally impossible to support him, and arrogantly thinks people will out of their own selfishness and fear.
Voting for Trump is even more unconscionable, and only liars claim there’s a third choice under FPTP.
It’s my right to vote for whoever I want. If the system is rigged Biden should have done more to make me want to vote for him instead of Jill Stein.
That’s hilarious. You’re going to end up with trump and shit on your own face just cuz Biden isn’t perfect.
The system isn’t rigged you incompetent tit. That’s how fptp works.
I’m not the one that it’s going to fuck🤷🏼♂️. I tried to vote for Bernie and got shit on. Let it burn. Idgaf.
Morally impossible? Geez I guess we should just get ready for more genocide with a side of human rights violations all over our shores too. Sorry, women, black Americans, and immigrants, Democrats would rather make a show of their morals than pick the much much much lesser of two evils. Big picture doesn’t matter here.
If we had to pick a candidate who aligns with all our morals, no one would ever vote. Vote for Biden, and then to make a difference fight on your local level(city) for ranked choice voting! Once you win that fight, try to get it enacted in your county. Do not waste your vote on Trump over this. That’s what staying home or voting independent will do, and once Trump wins, you’ll regret it. (Trust me, I fucked up and voted independent in 2016 for my “morals” Never again.)
You want to take out the guy who through diplomacy has limited the amount of deaths to 30 something thousand, and make way for the guy who wants to finish the job?
Sounds like you are more pro-genocide of Palestinians than Biden is.
