      This isn’t about Trump voters what-so-ever.

      This is about keeping the paper thin support that Biden has in place. He’s floundering, utterly right now.

      He needs every scrap of help he can get to win this election, and his policies are costing him support in key demographics.

        Biden’s only support has always been “I’m not Trump”. Nobody is changing their mind on if they’re voting for Biden because of little “scrap(s) of help”.

        His policies aren’t costing him support anywhere, it’s a common whataboutism that Trump supporters spout to try and claim that Biden is slipping, trying to further erode poll numbers.

          100,000 voters in Michigan just voted ‘No Confidence’, because of his policies around Gaza and Israel, or approximately 10% of the vote.

          Biden can not afford to lose 10% of the votes he got in 2020. He will lose if he does, and especially not in swing states (like MI).

            Yeah, in a primary. Those voters will fall right back in line during election season. They always do.

                2016 it wasn’t Trump v Biden now was it. Hillary Clinton was her own worst enemy. That’s a whole fucking can of worms all on its own. She was responsible for the grave she dug. Fake-ass I carry hot-sauce with me everywhere, please-like-me-black-people Hillary Clinton…her woes had nothing to do with Primary voters not falling in line and more to do with her being an unlikeable cunt.

          Biden’s only support has always been “I’m not Trump”.

          When the alternative is that traitorous twat, that support is one hell of a trump card (sorry not sorry)

          But it’s one he’s wasting by basically supporting a genocide.

          Hi! I voted for Biden last time. I am not this time because of this shit.

          If you would like, feel free to read through my comment history to see exactly when that changed.

          I may have come here during the Rexodus but I’m fairly decent commentor, in quantity, at least

          I voted for him on his not-Trump platform last time and I won’t vote for him this time unless he stops this shit in Israel. Either he shapes up or steps down from the primaries… or we risk Trump again.
