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 am absolutely going to vote, just not for Biden or trump.

    I’m not going to weigh future trans people dying against current Palestinians dying.

      Voting 3rd party isn’t going to help Palestinians. If you want to vote for someone who isn’t a Democrat, you should start building a grass-roots electoral movement (the way Bernie Sanders) did now so you can do that next time.

        is the argument here that neither party will actually help the pals and voting third party can’t help them either so i ought to vote only based on the other stuff?

        so we’re clear, i stopped voting for democrats years ago. it was in part to the constant “next time” and “most important election” rhetoric.

          Oh, you’re that weirdo who’s all about how the Holdomor was fake.

          Yeah, it makes sense that you would misrepresent my argument like that. I’m still not arguing with a genocide denier.

            🤷‍♀️ the anticommunist historian who got to look at the soviet archives after the fall said it wasn’t intentional and that’s the whole idea behind “holodomor” instead of the “famine in 1930”.

            E: oh shit! youre the other person who was slagging on me for this! did you ever get the chance to look into Years of Hunger?
