Young voters overwhelmingly say they would support President Biden over former President Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up if the 2024 presidential election were held today, according to a poll released Wednesday.
In the Economist/YouGov poll — conducted via web-based interviews Dec. 16-18 — more than half (53 percent) of registered voters under 30 said they would support Biden, and less than a quarter (24 percent) said they would support Trump.
Another 10 percent said they would support another candidate, 4 percent said they were not sure, and 9 percent said they wouldn’t vote.
Lol no he doesnt
Yeah people catastrophise so badly when it comes to politics. Biden is bland, uninspired and gaff-prone - however, he is a safe pair of hands. Just because a politician does not make you excited does not mean they suck.
He said he’d veto a bill for universal healthcare. That sucks. It just sucks less than trump saying he wants to be a fucking dictator
Weaponized apathy
I actually care very much about having a boring president, thanks.
“Kinda sucks” is not catastrophising.
No, Biden sucks and if you think he doesn’t you honestly need to turn off the crap cable news you are getting your news from.
Exhibit A, Biden essentially has taken the same path with immigration that Trump did and it is tragic and brutal. He just lets conservatives completely define the narrative “ohhh the border is OUT of control” republicans thousands of miles from the border say… and then implemented the same brutal policies. Now centrist liberals all of a sudden don’t seem to care so much about the brutality of what is happening to immigrants and their families just trying to improve their lives, but that is neoliberals for you. They care when the narrative says they should!
Also, there is the whole thing about Biden being the most powerful enabler of the horrific genocide in Palestine in the world and he seems to be totally fine with it beyond say some curt words for the murderers dropping the bombs.
Is Trump or any republican candidate worse? Absolutely, but Biden is not a great President. He is terribly suited to this moment in US politics and we can only hope everyone hates Trump enough to get Biden elected.

You know that every POTUS since 1948, including Trump, has been a vocal supporter of Israel right?
The chips are on the table now to actually affect the path of Israel in its genocide of Palestinians though and Biden is out to lunch on it just smiling and patting the backs the IDF while occasionally saying “well, I don’t know if you should do thattt, we would be upset with you” with a rushed whisper following “but you still get all the bombs you want don’t worry!”
Biden doesn’t get a pass because this has been the politically easy default stance for presidents to have, his job is to be president and make choices and he has made some truly awful ones here that have directly allowed the mass murder of children.
He’s a neolib and part of the ruling class. He does kinda suck.
Nah neolibs are dope as fuck.
Also there is no ruling class.
I mean … he does. He’s not as bad as he’s made out to be on most domestic issues, keeping in mind the limited power of the presidency and the fact congress holds the majority of the power. But he’s too fucking old. He’s made mistakes, and handling Israel with kid gloves is a problem.
I’m still voting for him because:
I believe we disagree on a few of his policy choices, and what we find good or bad. Democrats are a pretty big tent
I agree with your other points, at least conceptually. They’re good reasons.
