President Biden is planning to make more surgical trips to minority communities in 2024 to reinforce the paid advertising his campaign is broadcasting directly to Black and Hispanic voters, according to people familiar with the matter.

and what? “Well at least I’m not trump” them to death?
He’s already started pardoning those convicted of simple marijuana related crimes. That disproportionately affects minorites.
It’s all he and his team know how to do. They still think his low poll numbers are a “messaging problem” and not a, you know, DO SOMETHING problem.
it’s all he’s allowed to do.
remember, corporations make bank off the status quo. The kind of reforms progressives want… it hurts their pocket books. Biden is an “acceptable” candidate- not a complete douche, he comes off as sympathetic. but fundamentally still in their pockets. swaddled in their pocket-squares.
I mean, the messaging has been pretty dogshit so far, too. I welcome positive change from the “Fuck you, you’re going to vote for us” we’ve been getting so far.
The same recycled neoliberal stump speech but given in neighborhoods populated by black and Hispanic folks
To be fair, he’s definitely still not trump… Basically all of the value of that statement is still valid. Maybe even more so now.
I didn’t vote for that, I voted libertarian, but objectively speaking, if it was worth a vote four years ago, it’s worth the same vote now. If you aren’t willing to vote Dem on just that, you shouldn’t have last time either :)
There are many people who are “not trump”. That’s… not much of a reason.
How many of them do you honestly see running against him in the coming election?
It is if the Republican candidate is Trump. If it’s almost anyone else, I think Biden might be screwed.
There are- according to Biden himself- 50 other democrats that could beat trump.
Most of whom are also far more likely to. A Biden-Trump rematch is going to be a squeaker, he’s loosing increasing numbers of votes… and people want something new and different. That’s not trump, but it’s also not Biden.
Don’t buy the fearmongering. It’s bullshit. Biden ain’t doing this to beat trump. He’s doing it to keep his corporate overlords fat and happy.
If it’s anyone else, Trump will run as an independent and split the vote. Biden’s chances would improve under such a scenario.
I agree whole-heartedly, the bar isn’t set very high at all, but trump wins the race to the bottom IMHO. Like I said, I’m gonna vote for an actual functioning adult without any regard for the “you’re voting for the other team” crap (because both sides say exactly the same shit), but I won’t be upset if Biden gets re-elected…
It isn’t much, but it’s all thats being offered if you’re invested in the big two game.
