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.

He (and the two party system) lost me when they had control of the senate and still couldn't pass things like voting reform because of Manchen and Sinema.

Then Roe was overturned and they Dems said if I voted for them next election they'll fix it, rather than trying to do anything now.

The more left I became the less likely I was to vote Biden. I had already decided to vote third party before the recent atrocities in Gaza.
