    Exactly. Biden is a lost cause electorally, regardless of how good or bad he is, because he has tanked his approval with his own voterbase. Nobody is going to see Biden and then vote for Trump, they would just sit out or vote third party. Biden is just handing the win to Trump.

      Nobody is going to see Biden and then vote for Trump,

      I am not so certain of that. Granted the numbers would be low, but given how the Electoral College works, the entire election may hinge upon precisely that.

      We’ve been down this road before, in both of the previous elections.

        The number is non-zero, sure, but close to it. “Nobody” is just to drive the point, the DNC’s best path to victory is to reengage their voterbase with popular policy and firmly standing against genocide. The “fall in line” narrative works for only so many people, and it may not be enough for the DNC to win, so the DNC should focus on voter outreach instead of fearmongering about Trump for a third election cycle in a row.

                Got it, so then I don’t get why you’re upset at leftists for correctly dogging on Biden

                  Because it takes votes away from Biden, which makes a Trump presidency more likely.

                  We all know Biden is not perfect, spending time pointing it out is not very productive.

                    We just discussed how it doesn’t, if they weren’t planning on voting for Biden in the first place. If Biden wants more leftist votes, he can appeal to Leftists instead of Zionists and Neoliberals.
