Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump

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.

Same energy as "Look how big Trump's rallies are! There's no way he could lose!"

Nice dodge there chief. I'm guessing either you're not American or you don't follow our politics too closely. And to be clear, I'm not a Trump fan. I don't even consider myself a Democrat because I'm too far to the left to be on board with a lot of them.

How is it a dodge to point out that large protests do not necessarily signal majority support? Sorry that elementary-school level differentiation between "Looks bigger" and "Is bigger" is lost on you.

I'm an American and I follow politics very closely.

It was a dodge not answering whether you're American. Where the hell are you getting your news if you don't believe this is the main reason Biden is losing to Trump in a lot of states? The polls are pretty clear. And seeing some of the top Democrats flip (Pelosi was one I believe) on the Israel protests and/or Gaza is evidence enough for me.
