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.

    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.

      unapologetically commiting genocide

      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”
