Polls have also shown Biden’s support slipping among Black and ethnic minority voters, who helped drive his 2020 election win against Trump.

Analysts say Biden’s best hope now is a simple but quite specific number: that wages continue to rise faster than prices as they have done since April of last year, allowing consumers to feel that their wallets are fuller.

    These clowns pretend like Joe Biden isn’t doing what every other US politician and potential presidential candidate would be doing.

    It’s appalling, yes, and we should fight back against it. But to pretend like this is somehow unique to Biden shows a complete lack of awareness of US politics.

      But you’ll compare it to lima beans and scold anyone who does.

          And there it is yet again. The assumption that anyone who isn’t on board with supporting genocide must be a Trump supporter.

          No. I’m voting for Biden. But Biden should not be supporting genocide, and I resent being placed in a position where my options are “genocide” and “more genocide” and being scolded by people who are happy with it.

            So do we all. But that doesn’t change the facts of the scenario.

            being scolded by people who are happy with it.

            And now you’re being dishonest.

              I honestly don’t believe for an instant that a person who would compare people who are in any way upset about genocide to petulant children who won’t eat their veggies dislikes genocide in any way.

              Biden should not be supporting genocide. Two of the people in this thread that you’re scolding are voting for him already and you don’t care. You just want people to support genocide for its own sake.
