Biden’s numbers among young voters have slid during his presidency from the high margins that helped him beat Trump. Several former supporters explain why.

      I find it strange that people would admit they are so stuck in the us vs them mentality that they would support people they knew were not qualified.

        Biden was more than qualified at the beginning of his presidency, but his proposed policies sucked and many of his implemented policies still do suck many ways.

        But it’s not Biden saying immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country and echoing Hitler nor threatening to be a dictator for any amount of time. The Us v Them mentality doesn’t make a pragmatic choice to preserve America’s foundational institution, a representative republic; rather, it rationalizes support for a wannabe dictator. It’s the ultimate identity politics.

          The Man couldn’t carry a conversation in a bag even then.

          Anyone else would’ve been put into a care home.

            Mitch “The Freeze” McConnell is still not in a care home…and between him and Biden…McConnell definitely needs it more.

        You have grossly misread the situation. We unfortunately have a two party system, meaning it is inherently an evil vs lesser evil system, it’s inherently an us vs them system.

        None of the candidates are qualified or good. So at the bare minimum I’m going to vote for the one that isn’t parroting Hitler.

    In Philadelphia, Pru Carmichael isn’t even convinced this race matters.

    If there was an “Ig Pulitzer” for the biggest instance of journalistic malpractice in any given year, this sentence would be a pretty strong contender.

    If nothing else people need to vote for Biden because he is the guy running against racist xenophobic dictator wanna-be Trump. Often elections are picking the least bad candidate. Sorry but that’s reality.

      Biden is a known racist. I’ll vote for trump over Biden. Biden keeps focusing on the wrong things.

        I’m sure Biden was more racist in the past. They were both raised in generally racist generations. Biden is at least trying to evolve to modern social standards.

          I’m not sure he’s ever trying. Even recently he’s said racist things. I do think Trump is less racist. I think Biden is who I’d want if we had to go to war. He’s done well in Ukraine and Israel.

          Ironically Biden is known for his temper but I do find him less prone to outburst than Trump
