Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record. Assuming Trump is the Republican nominee, 2024 will not be a normal reelection cycle for three reasons.
And it’s working so well, huh. Just keep doing it! Doesn’t matter how many rights your fellow Americans lose (but not you of course, you’re not trans or a woman or anything like that)
I’m am trans, moved out of Texas and started hormone therapy last year.
People like me are right up there in “first they came for…”, so don’t imagine that I don’t know what’s at stake.
That’s precisely why it’s so important for the Democrats to reform and stop playing carrot to the Republican stick. They are complicit quislings who gladly work with fascists, even voting with them to censure the only Palestinian-American in congress for her objection to the arms deals that are enabling one of our proxy states to perpetuate genocide.
I’m still hopeful that it isn’t too late for the party to seek redemption, but I’m not so naive as to think they’ll do it on their own. Nothing short of an existential threat to the party would convince it to change, and the only threat we can offer as voters is to withhold support en masse.
Waste as much time as you want trying to shame me into voting, I live in a blue state now so your efforts would be almost meaningless even if they were successful. The people who actually need convincing are the party bosses, and good luck with that if they think they already have your vote.
