I need y'all to understand: Biden isnt losing votes from the far left. He never had those votes, and could never get them.

He's losing the votes of Muslims and Arabs in Michigan and Philly. He's losing the votes of moderates who are watching Israel's final solution in horror. He's losing the votes of Latinos and Haitians who see the southern border is getting more militarized and more violent every year

[Edit] to be 100% clear: If you oppose Israel's war on Palestine, but plan on voting for Biden this November,this post isn't about you.

The first part of your post would make sense if Biden just entered politics a few years ago. But hes been in politics for half a century.

Biden has been near or at the helm of US power for about 30 years. He is the face of the 'bipartisan consensus' that got us into this neoliberal hell of forever wars and dictator judges.

I mean, you put the blame overturning Roe entirely on the supreme Court. Do you know how long Biden was on the judiciary committee? He should've resigned in disgrace for how he treated Anita Hill. In hindsight, seeing how Thomas's confirmation was handled should've made it clear that Roe's days were numbered.
