I literally said that none of that was how I personally felt. It's just observations I've made from looking at polls and talking to people who are less engaged in politics. I'm still voting for Biden and want him to win. I'm just giving reasons how Biden currently isn't doing good among voters who are getting fatigued with the whole "most important election ever" rhetoric. And yes there are other issues the Democrats use for messaging like abortion which is a very popular point but on more recent issues like the war in Gaza (which he looks bad on no matter what side of the issue you're on) he has been loosing support from younger voters which are a pretty key demographic if he wants to win. Then there's the economy which even though everyone is saying it's doing better most people I talk to are still spending more than before and wages haven't gone up to match and plenty of people I know are struggling to get jobs after mass layoffs at various tech companies. These aren't the kinds of things that might make someone vote for Trump but instead just check out of politics cause either option things are still gonna get worse. And on a final note people like you who immediately accuse anyone who criticizes Biden of wanting Trump to win aren't helping, you just make the Biden side look crazy like the Trump side. I can want Biden to win to not have Trump in office while still criticizing Biden and wanting him to do better.
