President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The worst part to me is that people went through four years of Trump, then the past four years and want to go back to him now as a better alternative?

If he had won in 2020 that would have made more sense. How did you vote against him four years ago and now it's flipped back?

That's maddening

So many shitty and ignorant people

 

Nah, it's the economy. They're going to have to figure out their economic messaging.

The transgender/LGBTQ issues are window-dressing in this election. Everything has been about the economy. "I was better off four years ago." "My paycheck doesn't go as far now."

Governors in Democratic states are going to have to team up with Democratic Senators to create clear, obvious messaging as to why their policies are better.

 

Kornacki keeps spending long stretches showing in detail how Harris is running equal to Clinton in '16 and a few points behind Biden in '20 in basically every place that matters in every state that matters. Then they cut to Jen Psaki or someone to say "Well, there are a lot of votes to count in XXBIG CITYXXX." As if any of that changes any of the thorough ass-kicking data he just dropped on us.

 

So will Gavin Newsom defeat JD Vance in 2028 or will Trump be the self-proclaimed Emperor of America?

The blue wall is still doable but not looking great. The NYT has a confidence in those I don't quite get.

Weird election. Here in Arizona the presidential race is a dead heat but otherwise Democrats seem to be doing really well.

Ah, well. Welcome to the shitshow.

 

Thermostatic public opinion. It'd be super stupid for the Democrats to lean Trumpy. Why would folks vote for them if they can get the real thing?

 

Why should we hope for that? We were apparently wrong to even hope to come out on the right side of this.

 

This. Is. Happening.

 

Because I don't have it in me to be a political nihilist. And I don't have the funds to escape to a foreign safe haven, so it's basically my survival mode.

 

Exactly.

 

Probably be President Vance in a couple years unless you think Trump is not going to continue to decline in health, both physical and mental.
