Allies want voters to write Joe Biden in on the 2024 New Hampshire primary election ballot anyway.

Back in 2020 he was a supposed frontrunner struggling to look like one, fresh off a sluggish performance in the 2020 Iowa caucuses. He asked New Hampshire voters to help him flip the narrative and deliver him a comeback. He snarked back at critics, belittled a younger challenger and called one woman “a lying, dog-faced pony soldier” at a campaign event.

Then he skipped his own campaign party, headed to South Carolina, and finished a distant fifth in New Hampshire’s primary, faring worse than the former mayor of a midsized Midwestern city.

    , but I don’t see any alternatives, and you haven’t suggested any.

    Actually- I have. And many others have. There’s plenty out there and this comment is a throwaway attempt (intentionally or not) to silence dissent.

    The reality is Biden is deeply unpopular.

    If defeating Trump is your motivation, then finding the best possible candidate is the first step.

    then you ratchet up the fear mongering in the regular election; as well as all the good reasons to vote for that candidate.

    The DNC is pushing Biden and doing the fear mkngering because he’s the best candidate for his constituency- and that ain’t us. He’s firmly in the control of the corporations. Which is why he expediting weapons sales to Israel, supporting Ukraine; and sitting around with his thumb up his ass on pretty much everything else- or at best spackling a veneer of “sure we care” around.

    If he really cared about democracy, Trump would be in jail, convicted and we be in this shitshow… If he cared about national security… it wouldn’t have taken 2.5+ years to get the extremely sensitive documents back (and they’re still missing that fold of the most sensitive intel on Russia).

    If they cared about corruption… there’s lots there, too. In all sorts of places.

    If he cares about the climate he’d have held to his campaign promise to not open up new fracking or expand offshore drilling (for example the willow project.)

    If he cared about abortion he would have convinced manchin and the few others to get that done.  
     
     
     
     
     
    No, he’s clearly not running for our benefit.
