Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump
Democratic strategists, liberal pundits and TV talkers of all political stripes are making a living off doubting President Joe Bidens viability in the 2024 presidential election.
Some polls show former President Donald Trump winning! Bidens poll numbers are bad! Hes old! The far left is mad at him!
As we sit here a good 11 months before the election, there has been widespread bed-wetting over the incumbent. Buckets of liberal tears have been shed. And it all seems, in my humble, liberal opinion, a bit ridiculous.

Voters who are involved in movements usually get out and vote because of the enthusiasm. Donald Trump has a couple of movements behind him. Trump has the Pro life movement. Trump has the White Supremacist movement which combines with the anti-woke movement or really the ant-intellectual movement.
Joe Biden is a politician, but he does have the pro-women's healthcare movement behind him. Even though Bidenomics is a tremendous success, people just don't get enthused to vote over a positive economy.
Here is what Democrats need to do to help Biden win, we need a pro-democracy movement spread across the United States. We need to do it now. We need to show the voters the differences between democracy and Dictatorship, and yes we need to call it a Dictatorship and not an authoritarian leader, people just don't understand the word authoritarian.
This is the key for Democrats; voters in movements are more enthused than voters voting for a politician. Republicans fear people like Taylor Swift who could lead a movement, that is why they immediately started attacking her.
Movement v Politician, Movement usually wins, not always, but usually.
