Can Biden win reelection solely by being the ‘alternative’?
Can Biden win reelection solely by being the ‘alternative’?
Given the alternative, The Democratic Party can’t leave anything to chance in 2024.

After months of speculation, President Joe Biden announced this week that he will seek reelection in 2024, setting the stage for a likely rematch against Former President Donald Trump, who at this point is favored to win the Republican nomination.
To be sure, Biden would benefit from facing his 2020 foe. It allows Democrats to turn the race into a referendum on Trump and his brand of far-right “MAGA extremism,” rather than a referendum on Biden’s presidency — or to paraphrase one of the president’s favorite sayings, a campaign that is focused on comparing Biden to the “alternative,” not “the Almighty.”
Based on Biden’s announcement video, which was released exactly four years after he launched his 2020 bid, this will be the basis of his strategy. The president declares that the “fight for our democracy” is incomplete and urges Americans that “this is not a time to be complacent,” as “MAGA extremists” are threatening bedrock freedoms and civil liberties.

A post-2020 election report by Equis Research and subsequent analyses have suggested the rightward shift of Latino voters is due largely to economic policy. The economy has been a notorious rough spot for Biden during his first term, and he must find a way during the campaign to bridge the fundamental disconnect between the historically strong macroeconomic trends he often touts — i.e., historically low unemployment — with voters’ negative feelings about the economy.
Ultimately, as the country gears up for the first presidential rematch since President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s second victory over Adlai Stevenson in 1956, I would urge the Biden campaign not to rely solely on an “alternative not Almighty” strategy. Because given the alternative, the Democratic Party can’t leave anything to chance in 2024.
Commentary:
Biden's win in 2024 would be the second theft of America's presidential election in less than a decade.
Meanwhile the author Doug Schoen pontifies and opinionates through Maoist Democrat Leftist colored lenses.
Of course, Schoen fails to consider the National Security and Foreign Policy disasters of Afghanistan that Biden created and that doesn't include the war in the Ukraine, double digit Inflation, Supply Chain issues to include baby formula shortages.
How can any sane logical American vote to re-elect a president that as failed in every manner except spend taxpayers' money like drunken sailor and claim he's doing a great job?
What the hell else can Joe run on, his record? He can’t run on making America poorer. Biden can say anything he wants but his lies only make him look more delusional and demented. In two more years this country will be 10X worse then it is today. I’m being optimistic with that number.
Will we see te 2024 election of votes counted exceed the number of people eligible to vote, and when pointing that out will be deemed insurrection. That problem would be eventually rectified by barring wrong-thinking candidates from running for office.
