To all disenchanted with Biden

What you gonna' do in November? Vote for a Trumplican? Well, go right ahead but keep in mind it could be the last election where your vote will be counted.

1. For those who are "disenchanted" with Biden and the so-called "establishment" Democrats, let me

remind those who have short memories,

It was those ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS who gave you Medicare and Medicare, judges that supported Roe V Wade, fought for workers rights, women's rights, gay rights, environmental rights, Civil Rights, Social Security, against public assault weapon access etc. etc. etc.
and VOTED and supported HILLARY in the 2016 GENERAL ELECTION,against a racist, bigot, and sexist, and did not make false assertions that there was no differenjce between republicans and Democrats, and that the Supreme Court didn't matter, and NEVER voted for Jill Stein or Ralph Nader as some sort of "protest" vote

All those battles were fought, and significant progress made by those ESTABLISHMENT Democrats, and in 2016 some threw it away by either voting third party, or not voting

[calguy]

15. Don't forget the midterms in 2010

That was a bigger defeat in my opinion. Dems stayed home, repubs came to the polls. Result: Halt to Obama's aggressive agenda, loss of Supreme Court seat, rise of trump, etc. etc. etc.

[JohnSJ]

16. absolutely

[SharonClark]

2. You go ahead and vote for Biden in November..

I’ll vote for Democrats who are actually on the ballot.

14. The can't get beyond the price of gas...

..or the Roe decision or the weak gun laws, etc

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

20. Because the average voter doesn't care about 95% of that list

Inflation, gas prices, and food prices. That's their primary concern. Whatever affects their wallets is what they care about. Everything else is a afterthought.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. A person can be disenchanted with someone and still vote for them.

Not sure why that's an issue, or why expressing disenchantment is met with threats.

[doc03]

5. I am not disenchanted at Biden it's the Democrats not getting anything done when they do control

both the Presidency and Congress. Democrats set themselves up for failure making promises they
can't deliver. Mitch McConnel would find a way to deal with Senators that won't get in line.

[maxsolomon]

8. Pols always make promises they can't deliver.

As to your last point, McConnell couldn't get McCain in line and the ACA repeal failed.

What else did they get done from 2017-2019? Their fucked up Tax Cut bill; that was it.

[JohnSJ]

10. Right, and just how do you think that would work with Manchin and Sinema? and making comparisons

that McConnel would find a way is somehow comparable to a 50-50 Senate with Manchin and Sinema, who don't care.

[Tickle]

6. It's the independents and those on the fence we need to watch

We are always going to vote democrat no matter what. Also 39% of the population is pro-life

[maxsolomon]

9. anti-choice.

please don't use their framing.

[Celerity]

18. TBF, not that either. They are forced birthers, plain and simple.

[JohnSJ]

11. Yes, that would be it. The problem is of course that they actually vote

[Tetrachloride]

7. I am pro Biden.

The more we are for Team Biden, the more they can be for my family, the environment and the world.

[Silent3]

12. I'm disenchanted with the idiocy of an American public that's too stupid...

...to realize, no matter what they perceive as Biden's faults, what a breathtakingly enormous improvement Biden is over his predecessor, and what a calamity was dodged when Biden won.

And, because they don't appreciate Biden enough, they're stupid enough to give Republicans power again, sadly making Biden potentially only a brief reprieve from the downfall of our democracy.

[Hortensis]

13. :) I'm no more "disenchanted" with Biden than I am with myself.

I always know what I believe in and why, I never lack commitment, and I always know who to vote for.

Just as I know who our allies are and who need to be denied power for everyone's sake.

[In It to Win It]

17. I'm disenchanted with

Congress. Not our side, their side. They are determined to keep Congress broken.

[iemanja]

19. Biden isn't on the ballot this November

[Septua]

24. True but...

..a lot of other Democrats are.

[GoCubsGo]

21. I'm more disenchanted with the people who would rather whine and complain,

than working on electing a Congress that will help him get what they want.

Damn, this country is in dire need of a civics class.

[Initech]

22. I don't hate Biden.

He's not perfect and Trump figuratively dumped a toxic pile of waste on the entire country. So he's still got a ton of Trump's mess to clean up. That said I will literally vote for any Dem over any MAGA!

[Calista241]

23. Nobody here is going to vote Repub.

But there are millions and millions of voters out there that are going to stay home because they’re unhappy.
