Fewer people voted in the primaries this year than in 2020, and Biden ran virtually unopposed within those contests.

"Let’s talk about how Trump is the primary nominee, and he raped a woman and threatens everyone. "

Go for it, make another thread about how dumb it is to vote for Trump. You can do that. People do it all the time. We are talking about a different person in a different party.

“There’s literally no reason that Biden can’t be a good leader. He’s demonstrated it over the past few years. And it’s normal for the current president to be given a second shot.”

Not representing a majority in policy and having a super low approval rating isn’t a reason he can’t be a good leader? Is there any reason my neice can’t be a good leader? Also, it is not normal for the president to be this old. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_age The president should be between 45 years old and 65 years old.

“The only real objection most people could arguably make for Biden is regarding Israel”

This is a wild take. The only possible reason that is REAL is this one issue!

court takes away bodily autonomy from 51% of the population

government does nothing to pass a law to fix it after Biden campaigned on fixing it

“There is not a single reason anyone has to be mad at Biden!”

The approval rating polling is questionable not to mention so many people just blanket disapprove of the guy they didn’t vote for in the current political climate.

Not representing a majority in policy is almost definitely a lie, especially when you consider the wide margin the Democratic platform wins in terms of the popular vote.

Much of what Biden’s admin has actually “done” to the extent that any president really “does anything” is pretty popular in my view, infrastructure investment, domestic manufacturing investment, alliance building, defense of Ukraine, reduction of dependence on foreign energy, debt relief, etc

And this is where our civics competency completely fails us. There is very little Biden can do here by himself, we have a Republican controlled house. What is he supposed to do? He has no legal authority to do anything at the federal level.

Yep, nothing he can do. President has no power pack it in.

courts make it so president can assasinate political rivals. Congress has a bill in the works within weeks to change that

Yep, nothing can be done. ಠ_ಠ

Are you actually advocating for the assassination of political rivals as a means to restore abortion rights? That’s a pretty hot take if so.

Or are you just pointing out that congress “does stuff” that congress agrees with (i.e., that presides should not be able to assassinate political rivals? – I haven’t seen news of such a bill FWIW).

That second one. I’m pretty up for the complete distruction of our entire system of life, including the removal of currency. But I’m also against violence. That is why I just keep my head down and try to vote to power what I want. But obviously no political party in America is running on tge platform of, “let’s tear it all down” so tge democrats are usually as left as it gets. It’s just not very left anymore. (With a grain of salt for how actually center-right the dems are)
