The Biden/dem strategy for 2024 actually seems to be vote scolding. One, Trump will lead to fascism. Two, Bidenomics is working. If I didn't exist now and I was born 100 year after my actual birth date and I was trying to understand this era - I simply wouldn't believe this plan. They are telling voters that they if don't vote for Biden and the democrats - they're dummies, unpatriotic, and have no sense of civic duty. In any country in any period of history - has vote scolding ever worked in a major election in a democracy?
To make it even weirder - there are normie dem voters with the same POV who also religiously vote scold.

Ninja edit: Also - I agree with RyanGosling. Biden is a shitty candidate that nobody wants so they should run somebody else. The least the dems could do is give voters somebody they actually might want to vote for. When it comes to the democratic party - where's their cleverness, their patriotism, and their sense of civic duty?
