As someone who is struggling to find a reason to vote for biden for who he is, rather than vote for him for what he is not, its so disheartening to see the only valid reason to vote for him is just that he isn’t trump.
And I hate that discussion about this is always so black and white about this, and just sneering at people who have no policy reason to vote for biden, throwing shade at people who genuinely hate biden’s neoliberal platform for criticizing because trump is the opponent.
Voting for someone because they aren’t trump didn’t work in 2016, and Im worried it isn’t going to work in 2024. And I’m starting to see why people are feeling so hopeless when it comes to electoralism
I am having a very hard time believing this post is meant in good faith. Biden has many good and progressive accomplishments under his belt and the negatives, while glaring, are almost entirely shared by his opponents.
If you can't find reasons to vote for biden for "who he is" then you either have willful blinders on or are trying to push an agenda.
Name some

If you can't easily list off a few then maybe the accomplishments aren't that great.
