I need y’all to understand: Biden isnt losing votes from the far left. He never had those votes, and could never get them.
He’s losing the votes of Muslims and Arabs in Michigan and Philly. He’s losing the votes of moderates who are watching Israel’s final solution in horror. He’s losing the votes of Latinos and Haitians who see the southern border is getting more militarized and more violent every year
[Edit] to be 100% clear: If you oppose Israel’s war on Palestine, but plan on voting for Biden this November,this post isn’t about you.
Switching away from first past the post voting allows people to vote for who represents them best while still counting their vote against those they dont want to win. Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why the spoiler effect exists.
Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform.
So what’s the hold up with the rest of the states? Consider starting a campaign to change how we vote in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.

People don’t vote a single issue.
Some other horrifying things are on the ballot this year. Authoritarianism, Christian nationalism, reproductive rights, women’s right to medical care, etc.
That’s why I was specific in calling them “Biden Democrats”. I’m not including all Democrats here, nor am I including all Biden voters. "[Name] [party members] " is a shorthand way of talking about either the wing of a party, or a voters whose views align with [name]. This genocide is decades in the making, and Biden’s wing of the party has been complicit the whole time.
If you vote for Biden, that doesn’t make you a “Biden Democrat”. Many people currently protesting the war and taking part in actions will end up voting for Biden this November. I won’t Shame them for doing what they think is best.
However, this is Biden’s legacy. This is what it means to be a “Biden Democrat”. Go ahead and vote for him, but for the love of Blåhaj, don’t embrace the fascist policies that he’s been pushing for decades.

He (and the two party system) lost me when they had control of the senate and still couldn’t pass things like voting reform because of Manchen and Sinema.
Then Roe was overturned and they Dems said if I voted for them next election they’ll fix it, rather than trying to do anything now.
The more left I became the less likely I was to vote Biden. I had already decided to vote third party before the recent atrocities in Gaza.
