The left needs to challenge Biden, especially on US involvement in Gaza. But to do that, we need to keep him in office.

    Second, irl, things were actually better for most people economically under Trump.

    I’ll dispute that. 2021-2024 has so far been better economically for most people than 2016-2020. The top ten percent has seen a dramatic increase in income during the Trump administration, but the bottom half has been almost entirely stagnant while the cost of living has increased. Biden hasn’t done much to change that trend, and I’ll agree with you that economic performance is more circumstance than policy-driven.
