Democratic strategists, liberal pundits are making a living off doubting President Joe Biden's viability in the 2024 presidential election. Why?

While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

      Don’t forget that he actually told an interviewer that Israel should “finish the job”.

      Israel recently did the biggest land grab in like 30 years under Joe Biden. Not under Donald Trump. Once again there is no difference except Biden probably being worse.

      Trump is a massive moron but he is not stupid enough to escalate into World War 3.

      In fact he has already proven he is not that stupid because after the Suleimani assasination Iran retaliated. And Trump then cut off the escalation.

      An Abrupt Move That Stunned Aides: Inside Trump’s Aborted Attack on Iran

      But barely three hours later, Mr. Trump had changed his mind. Without consulting his vice president, secretary of state or national security adviser, he reversed himself and, with ships readying missiles and airplanes already in the skies, told the Pentagon to call off the airstrikes with only 10 minutes to go. When Vice President Mike Pence and other officials returned to the White House for what they expected would be a long night of monitoring a military operation, they were stunned to learn the attack was off.

      That about-face, so typically impulsive, instinctive and removed from any process, proved a decision point for a president who has often threatened to “totally destroy” enemies but at the same time has promised to extricate the United States from Middle East wars. It revealed a commander in chief more cautious than critics have assumed, yet underscored the limited options in a confrontation he had set in motion.

        I mean, we all get it. But Biden is worse? What makes you possibly think trump will make smarter and more humane decisions for the Palestinian people?

          Have you… Have you seen what Biden has done over the last 6 months? We’re talking literal Holocaust Nazi concentration camp extermination of Palestinians.

                Which is it? Israel or Biden? Isreal cries to us that they need arms so we supply them, ISREAL then goes nutty with absolutely no regard for life.

                Biden is like Charlie Brown. He keeps going for that football and Lucy Naziyahoo keeps pulling it away (this time will be different Mr Biden we’ll be more careful.)

                Biden is not committing the genocide but he IS absolutely being played for a fool and he sure looks to be one.

            Why are you pretending Biden is personally responsible and why do you believe the serial pardoner of war criminals would be better?

        And Biden’s administration sanctioned Israel’s settlers for doing those things, while Trump is the man who pardoned multiple war criminals and promised to ban Palestinians from USA

        Trump is a moron who don’t understand escalation. If anything, Biden’s handling of Iran’s attack on Israel and negotiations shows he actually knows what he’s doing because both sides have agreed to deescalate after mutual missile attacks on each other’s soil. Trump choosing not to escalate singlehandedly is not a point in his favor, especially since he probably got yelled at for hours about the dangers and then chickened out.
