Yes true, but the question is: do uninformed swing-voters in battleground states feel this way?
At the moment Biden is losing in every one of them.
Friendly reminder 2020 was won by only 40,000 voters across 3 states. And Biden is significantly underperforming his 2020 run.
What did those same respondents say about Trump's fitness for the presidency?
FFS you trolls are busy. I thought he was busily commiting genocide. Now he's mentally deficient?
Make up your damn minds.
Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don't vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I've been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.
If the dems shove it down our throats I'm still voting for him, but there's still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.
The vitriol from people ignoring the fact he looks completely fucked is bizarre. Why are people supporting someone with one foot in the grave?
It's the same team sport politics that MAGA supporters engage in.
Either they are Blue MAGA (cult of personality) or their true motive is to get Trump elected.
It'd be a fairer comparison if we could see Trump without all his makeup
Both can be true.
In fact the former could even be caused by the latter.
Obviously you didn't read the article because it's in there.
Biden isn’t the only candidate who didn’t fare well following his performance — 49% of registered voters also believe Donald Trump doesn’t have the mental and cognitive health to be president.
Yes, Biden is aiding and abetting genocide, but that wasn't part of the article. But literally 7/10 voters say Biden has lost the mental capacity to serve as president. It's the reality whether you accept it or not.
Well said. The number of down-votes on hard truths like this submission but a complete lack of substantive argument prove they're in denial.
The point is that Democrats are trotting out a senile genocide-enabling old man to defend democracy, and then blaming everyone who asks why
Trump is a legitimate threat to democracy.
So shouldn't we send literally anybody else? Isn't Biden's approval rating sub 40%?
I agree with lesser evil voting and harm reductuon, but we're not voting yet. They can maybe run somebody who might not throw the election.
Posting polls ≠ trolling
Nobody in the article or in this thread: "Genocide."
You: "This accurate reporting of real world polling doesn't reflect my world view, so it must be trolling and be about genocide!!"
No, I was just commenting on how quickly the tactics had changed.
You missed it. Again.
Why are you angry? Who is a troll, Yahoo?
