    I understand people not liking Biden. Or even hating Biden for supporting Israel.

    I just don’t want another 4 years of undermining Democracy, women, LGBTQ, non-whites, non-Christians, the poor, peaceful protest, the constitution, etc. Every day I see another headline that is direct fallout from the other guy being president.

    And yes, it’s Biden’s responsibility to appeal to voters (which I take into consideration even when he does things I disagree with). The same way I blame Hillary for refusing to listen to anybody. But I’m also blaming any voter who chooses to help put Trump back in office.

      Many of these things have continued under Biden. People are deluding themselves if they think that voting for either of the two parties, who have been running the show together for more than a century, will lead to any real solutions.

      There’s a very real possibility he could lose this election and what has he done to fix things other than feigned outrage and lip service? If he really cared about any of the things you listed, you’d think he’d be working hard to improve his image and prevent them from happening right?

        At the hands of the SC, that was stacked by Trump.

          Because the Dems didn’t want to push the issue at the end of Obama’s term thinking Clinton would get to do it. Then in 2020, a month before the election, allowed Trump to make another appointment again without making a fuss about the obvious hypocrisy with the election being so near.
