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.

    They know what we need and want they just never have had a supermajority for more than 10 minutes. Our stupid ass elections are always on the razors edge lately so we have around 3 asshole Republicans pretending to be Democrats Democrats in the Senate that just squash anything that would benefit us at the expense of more wealth hoarding at the top.

    Listen to Democrats running and listen to Republicans running, only one of those groups rely on “hate, hate, hate, be afraid, hate, those people are different and I’ll stop them!”

      That’s been the case for over a decade now and there’s still a filibuster. And the court is still only 9 justices. I submit they don’t want to solve it. They don’t want to catch the car.

        I believe it’s those same 3 “Democrats” that are the ones that prevented the change to the filibuster. “Totally not corrupted by his own business interests” Mancin is one I remember for sure was against it. There definitely is a contingent of Democrats that “don’t want to catch the car” but I think they’re the minority. With our stupidly thin margins that minority controls the agenda unfortunately :(
