    The reason Biden got such a big uncommitted vote is the current ongoing genocide in Israel. The solution is him doing more than simply calling Netanyahu an asshole then turning around and saying “I’m a Zionist”.

    IDK, it could also be that Biden is continuing the trump era “lock kids in cages” border policies and has signalled he wants to be even more cruel at the border. So he could stop that as well.

    The time has passed, but he could have also not ran this time around. However, his ego got in the way. He has had dismissal approval numbers and he still chose to run which has put us in this position.

    The solution is for Biden to listen to the voters before November and to change tact on critical issues. Before he loses a chunk of voters that simply don’t vote because the choice between two genocidal candidates violates their moral compass.

    I say all this as someone that will vote Biden. He’s out of touch and running a terrible campaign. For fucks sake, he should be saying “abortion” at every rally, but he won’t because he’s a devout Catholic that has a hard time hitting so hard on a clearly winning issue.

    His campaign can be summed up as “I’m not trump” which is exactly what fucking got trump into power the last time.

      No, no, NO! voters need to understand that democracy demands sacrifice. Stupid, uneducated and selfish voters should grow up and learn that their problems, their dreams and desires aren’t representative of the country’s, the vast majority of which is center-right somehow.

      Democracy is when you hold your nose, put your own desires in the back seat, and vote for who you’re told to.

      Anything else leads to fascism you tankie/shill/russian/chinese agent/you absolute child!

      Edit: Holy shit i did such a good job pretending to be a liberal biden lover it even fucked up the guy i was agreeing with! Sorry cogman. read it again as a satire

        Grow the fuck up. This is a primary, not the fucking general election. Voting against Biden in the primary to tell him “I don’t like what you are doing” is a perfectly valid and important way to vote. Why the fuck do you think we have primaries for incumbent presidents in the first place?

        Democrats aren’t the fascists so stop fucking acting like it when someone strategically votes. Biden isn’t god and a vote against him, IN THE FUCKING PRIMARY, is not a vote for Trump. You dipshit. It does not lead to a Trump presidency. If anything, it’s the fucking opposite, because it gives Biden time to course correct before he loses votes due to apathy or anger. Justified anger, if you consider the fact that the people voting uncommitted believe he’s supporting a fucking genocide.

        It’s not like if biden got 100% of the primary vote he’d have any better or worse odds at beating trump. Use your fucking brain.

        Half the fucking reason biden is as progressive as he has been is because of how well bernie and warren did. That’s what happens when you vote your heart in the fucking primary. Biden wouldn’t have been nearly as good on things like antitrust without the votes against him, IN THE FUCKING PRIMARY.

                LMAO. Good luck with that attitude. It’s exactly the reason democrats and biden risk losing in 2024. Plugging your ears and running away when any sort of cognitive dissonance sets in.

                Goodbye. I hope you eventually learn how primaries work.
