As someone who is struggling to find a reason to vote for biden for who he is, rather than vote for him for what he is not, its so disheartening to see the only valid reason to vote for him is just that he isn’t trump.

And I hate that discussion about this is always so black and white about this, and just sneering at people who have no policy reason to vote for biden, throwing shade at people who genuinely hate biden’s neoliberal platform for criticizing because trump is the opponent.

Voting for someone because they aren’t trump didn’t work in 2016, and Im worried it isn’t going to work in 2024. And I’m starting to see why people are feeling so hopeless when it comes to electoralism

Nail on head. It shouldn't be so hard to put forward some aspirational policies in the world's richest country.

Primaries are the right time to criticize incumbents. General is when we all fall in line. Not criticizing politicians when they do something wrong is what the republicans do - we shouldn't seek to emulate them.
