    Does Biden have the best chance of beating Trump

    The election is in ~3 months. Yes. Next question.

      He’s much more unpopular than any previous president that won reelection, he’s literally unqualified for the job, he’s in a weaker position than when he BARELY won the first time and he’s refusing to change course on the main source of discontent, his active and ongoing participation in a genocide and other war crimes committed daily.

      No.

      Next question: Will he be replaced by one of the 50 other Democrats who could beat Donald Trump (by his own estimate) before it’s too late?

      I hope so, but probably not.

          Voters simply don’t care about Gaza anywhere near as much as they care about literally everything else

          Well that’s a damning indictment of the American people if I ever saw one!

          With the exception of chronically online lemmings and less than 10% of Democratic voters, nobody else really cares.

          Yeah, it’s just the systematic slaughter of mostly defenseless civilians, specifically targeting aid workers, health workers and journalists, and also tens of thousands of children!

          Just flagrant daily crimes against humanity, nothing you’d care about if you weren’t a chronically online Lemming! /s

          You’re very much on the wrong side of history if you are indifferent to the many war crimes of Israel as well as the contributions of the US and other Western countries making it possible for them to continue in perpetuity.

              Yeah, it actually DOES bother me that some people don’t care about constant atrocities committed on helpless innocents. I’m kooky like that!

              I wouldn’t think that Donald Trump levels of casual indifference towards the mass murder and systemic torture of fellow human beings would be the norm amongst Democratic voters, but I guess it either is or there’s something wrong with the methodology of the statistics you so gleefully present as redemptive of your Dear Leader…

                  There’s different priorities and then there’s a near-total disregard for the lives and well-being of fellow humans.

                  There’s disagreement on whether economic or social issues are more important. Whether foreign policy is important or only domestic issues really matter. Tons of room for legitimate disagreement there.

                  And then there’s being indifferent to some of the worst atrocities humans have ever submitted other humans to being perpetrated in your name using weapons paid for by your tax dollars and political cover by the politicians you have chosen to represent you.

                  If that doesn’t bother you, WHAT fucking does?

          Even for the folks who are outraged by what’s happening in Gaza, letting trump win isn’t going to make the situation any better, and will likely make it significantly worse.

      Did you not pay attention to Frances election? Much shorter with much better outcomes. Maybe the year long election cycle is the problem driving turnout down in the US, which benefits republicans.
