U.S. would love to vote 'for' a president

When anyone asks me whom I’m voting for, I answer “no one.“ I’m not voting for anyone but against someone. Although [President Joe] Biden has achievements in many areas, he has blundered on immigration and Gaza. His handwringing is not enough to counter the civilian destruction and carnage in Gaza. And congressional Republican reluctance to enact immigration reforms should not deter Biden from forceful actions. Even if the courts overturn his actions, he is doing something.

My dissatisfaction with Biden is much less than my fear of Donald Trump’s hardline, scorched-earth approach to these and other issues. Biden is the president but fails to use the “bully pulpit” or news conferences to highlight his successes and plans. This leaves many questioning his age and ability to inspire confidence. Like many, I would prefer different candidates. But, I am left with the uneasy feeling of voting against Trump rather than for Biden.
