    “Will you vote for Biden in the 2024 election?” No.

    If all Biden has to do to earn your vote is not be Trump, then you aren’t getting much else. People should vote for who earned their vote, not for who commits a genocide knowing he won’t lose a vote.

      Politics has always been is currently a game of the least offensive though. Every can candidate will have things they give you and things they take away. If your two choices are between “I will genocide” and “I will genocide even harder” it seems wild to me to help the second one win by abstaining from the first.

      Oh and the second one doesn’t think women are people and thinks climate change is fake.

        No it hasn’t. Polling in the US has asked for decades, “are you voting more FOR a candidate or agains their opponent?” 2016 was the first major election where people’s “against” vote outweighed the “for” vote.

          Maybe starting with getting more than one dem into office in a row so each subsequent one doesn’t have to fix the train wreck economy from the last GOPer giving trillions to the rich, then continuing to elect people on the left end of the party like Bernie and AOC so that future dems are forced to enact more social policies to win votes.

      Biden earned my vote because he’s actually done shit during his term, unlike Trump. The situation in Gaza is lamentable, but I’m not going to let a wedge issue on which both of the candidates appear to be in agreement color my opinion.
