    Luckily he’s facing Trump who was worse for the country in every way and wants to ramp up the genocide if he’s elected.

      historically “vote for us because we’re not them” is a very ineffective way of winning elections

        Trump lost the popular vote twice already while the Dems ran on “we’re not them”.

          and one of those elections he won?

          also, during the 2020 campaign, trump’s base’s biggest complaint was generally that he was running on a platform of “i’m not biden”, so i guess both cancelled out

            Seems like the main platform for both parties this time is the same “I’m not them”. I guess we’ll see.

              Trump repealed 111 climate change regulations. Biden is enacting new ones.

              Trump repealed civil and trans rights. Biden replaced them.

              Trump repealed net neutrality. Biden replaced it.

              Trump gave corporations and the wealthy larger tax cuts than the working class. Biden is replenishing the deficit off of corporations and the wealthy while cutting taxes for middle and low income workers.

              I could go all day, but I think you get the point.

                He honestly has a lot to run on. People just like to attribute A LOT of Trump’s failures to Biden. And Biden doesn’t like to boast. I hope that changes.

              trump’s platform seems more to be “the election was stolen”, which his base believes

              biden’s base on the other hand is horrifically split over his mishandling of israel, and arguably the demographics that are credited with democratic wins in 2022 are most effected

              his poll numbers are in the shitter, and over the last two presidential elections polls have been incorrectly biased towards the democratic candidate
