    The line is wearing thin, since democracy keeps being in greater peril even when we elect Democratic majorities.

    Democrats would rather protect the filibuster than democracy.

            That is correct. However, their comment implies that there are people not voting for biden due to his participation, and my question still stands.

            Those people not voting for biden because of his stance merely ensure that the thing they dont want to happen will happen on a much larger scale - abroad and at home.

            We aren’t Russia (for now). We can still effect change at the state level by getting rid of First Past The Post voting and passing comprehensive electoral reform.
