      It’s easier to get people to vote against “the other guy” when “the other guy” is in office.

      That works against Biden this time. Especially since his own party is saying he didn’t do enough, and Trump’s voters were happy with trump in 2020

      Pretty much the only vocal Biden supporters, are supporters of Israel’s genocide. Because they know Biden is a self confessed Zionist. Like, he actually says it publicly and proudly.

        Yeah I don’t meet many Biden supporters, literally all he had was that he was a change from Trump. Especially since he seems to manage to upset everyone, another perfect example is immigration. Older voters are accusing him of allowing a “Venezuelan Mariel boatlift” (The emptying of Castro’s jails) to occur at the southern border. Voters my age are wondering why DACA is still temporary and backlogs for legal pathways are crazier than ever (May have been Covid but many areas went from less than 24 month processing times(ludicrous enough) to years in some cases a decade for processing since Biden took over). Younger Voters are asking why if keeping kids in converted offices under Trump was wrong why did Biden have people living under bridges at the border then start busing them across the country to be homeless. And now even the establishment backing him is like well he went too far in negotiating, but only because he had to while still having nothing to show but loss of good will. Yeah this is the guy to get people excited about. And whats his biggest competition? Oh the guy who actually managed to close the border, and whose attempts at cementing DACA required the same concession Biden so willingly offers now. Like please run anybody else, you can’t polish Biden into a jewel.

        It’s easier to get people to vote for the other guy when the other guy is a demented orange shit weasel.
