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.

    Third party votes aren’t irrelevant. The two major parties look to third party turnout to judge how they’re being perceived and how to respond to it.

    Plenty of third party candidates have been seated in the house and senate and in lower offices as well.

    If I’m gonna take time out of my day to participate in the rigged American elections it’s gonna be to cast a vote for a party and candidate I actually want in power, not to throw my tiny vote in with one or the other liberal piece of trash.

      For president? Total waste.

      God damn, how egotistical do you have to be, to jack off about ignoring a fascist threat because it’d take precious time out of one Tuesday?

        I don’t think you understood my reply. I’m planning on voting psl, I’m not ignoring a fascist threat.

              … the only other relevant candidate will be.

              A deeply flawed option who is still fffucking obviously better than a bigoted narcissist openly promising a minor dictatorship. Just the tip.

                I’m seriously asking what do you think will happen if trump loses (or is declared the loser)?

                You’ve made it clear what you’re worried about if trump wins. What happens if trump loses?

                    I’m not being clear: what happened the last time trump lost?
