IMO, Biden deserves more criticism for his failure on voting rights. He hasn't done anything to combat the BLATANT voter suppression done by Republicans. Biden's strategy of "out-organizing" voter suppression is naive, and honestly, kind of shitty, because it places the onus on people most affected by voter suppression (namely, people of color) to try to fix an unfair system, instead of on the people who can actually do something about it. ...

The onus there would be on the state of Texas to vote in people who would change that. The president of the US can't do anything about a state changing its voting laws.

Voting rights will really be in jeopardy if he loses. If he takes too proactive a role in fighting voter suppression, it provides ammo for conservatives to accuse him of rigging the system, even if that's what they've been trying to do for some time. Accusing him of not doing enough to take a more proactive role in voting creates a catch 22 situation for him. Basically, if you want to protect democratic values, it makes no sense to not vote for him (or whoever the Democrat would be, but pushing for a new candidate instead of a relatively well-liked incumbent is just dumb in the vast majority of circumstances). ...
