The bill he's going to push is filled with bullshit and will cripple the public's ability to use ballot initiatives, like they recently did to secure abortion rights for the state and are currently trying to use for correcting Republican gerrymandering.

Biden will get on the ballot and it will cost the Ohio voters their most significant power to affect change.
Not worth it. Biden isn't going to win Ohio anyway. No dem will win Ohio for thirty years. That state only rivals Florida in what a disaster it's become in the last ten years.
Probably could have just stopped there, unfortunately. If he doesn't do a 180 on being a cheerleader for genocide in the next couple months, he's doomed in Michigan and possibly other swing states that he can't win without such as Minnesota.
Disclaimer in case of whataboutism: YES, I know that Trump would be just as bad or even worse (if that's even possible now) on Gaza and much worse in just about every other aspect.
I don't WANT Biden to lose, but the way he's alienating prospective voters that were going to vote for him, it seems horribly likely that he's going to lose the second most winnable presidential election of my 41-year lifetime (after the one he DID win where how awful Trump was as president was being proven in real time) because of his own stubbornness and/or corrupt relationship with AIPAC and other lobbying arms of the genocidal apartheid regime.
I mean, I don't like to read it but I think you're right. The Democrats need to align with progressives to win. Biden is set to lose this election, as much as I hate Trump.
Don't take it personally. You're right. It just feels terrible and there's nothing further to say.
