Democratic strategists, liberal pundits are making a living off doubting President Joe Biden's viability in the 2024 presidential election. Why?

While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

    I misunderstood you. I apologize. I read the “your grievances” as being toward everyone hesitant to vote for him, rather than to OP’s specific issues. Big picture, I do think his issues are more to do with what I said in my response to my other interlocutor. I also think him bending the rail workers over the barrel is also a factor. Again, I apologize for insulting you.

      We’re good, thanks for owning it.

      I’ll refrain from going back and forth on whatabouts, which is an endless discussion. Every president in the history of the US, every ruler in the history of man, is going to have a long list of negatives that can be dug up. No solution works for everyone.

        Thanks for the forgiveness. That’s not sarcasm. To be honest I’m conflicted about my own decision not to vote for him, but I genuinely do feel that not voting for him will move that party more toward not being a “slightly better than conservative” one. I had a conversation with a female coworker years ago revolving around the concept of “How convenient that you can ignore this presidency and not feel the effects, whereas we (Latina woman) cannot take that chance.” To me, it’s more advantageous to force the party to the left than to acquiesce and make them feel like they can get away with … Not giving a shit about anyone" Just my take and I’m honestly interested in your counterpoint. In any case, thanks for the conversation. Edit: autocorrect.
