I don’t think anything about Biden set “the commies on fire”, but he was elected long before 7 October 2023, so he didn’t have to contend with all the well-deserved outrage over US support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. And yes, I’m well aware it’ll likely get worse under Trump. But not being as bad as the next guy simply doesn’t seem to inspire voter turnout for some reason.
It’s kind of like selling a new brand of chocolate, and advertising it as being “not quite as bad as Hershey’s” (yes, I know, it’s a low bar), then blaming customers for “sitting on the couch” and not buying it. Oh, and lets not forget that both chocolate bars advertise a policy of “10% of profits goes to genocide”.
Democrats are up in arms about people not buying their shitty chocolate bar, when any decent person would just stop eating chocolate if those were the only two options available. But the Democrats refuse to change the recipe or the packaging because it’s their position that nothing needs changing - it’s the voters who are wrong. Does that sound like an argument that’s likely to win over any voters?
