Joe Biden’s campaign is facing a strategic dilemma. Since the president’s job-approval ratings have been consistently low, his path to reelection depends on making 2024 a comparative choice between himself and Donald Trump, his scary, extremist predecessor. That task is becoming more urgent as evidence emerges that a sizable number of voters either don’t remember or misremember the four turbulent years of the Trump administration. But paradoxically, educating voters about the potential consequences of a Biden defeat could annoy and alienate them by pushing Trump fatigue to new heights.
Trump won’t have that problem because he won’t care how complicit he is.
I mean you are correct.
Trumps voters don’t care if he is complicit in a genocide.
Bidens voters do care if he is complicit in a genocide.
Its apples and oranges. The two cohorts of voters are looking for different things from their candidates. Its why comparing the two with each others yard-sticks doesn’t make sense.
Definitely. Trump’s eligibility doesn’t depend on people thinking he’s a genocidal piece of shit. If anything, it improves his chances.
Biden doesn’t have that luxury, though. Hence why it’s a problem.
It’s a problem because liberal voters expect a perfect candidate, but conservatives are willing to see the forest through the trees.
Biden’s being held to a standard that no one’s holding Trump to.
There’s a pretty big leap between “perfect candidate” and “unapologetically commiting genocide”.
The reason why no one is holding Trump to Biden’s starddards is that Biden wants votes from people who aren’t the scum of the Earth, since that’s already Trump’s entire electorate.
Which is not what Biden’s doing and you know it. Why even put that out there?
It’s exactly what he’s doing, why are you pretending is not?
If he says “sorry for the genocide” I’ll stand corrected and change it to “apologetically committing genocide”
Sending US troops to build a pier to provide aid is committing genocide?
Now that’s what I call arguing in bad faith by feigning ignorance 2024 greatest hits
Humor me, pretend it’s not feigning ignorance and explain it. What’s Biden doing that rises to the level of genocide?
