Some other thoughts;
He'll lose the popular vote but win the electoral college again, except this time it will be because of some GOP voter fraud fuckery, or a chud judge in like Ohio or Michigan will throw out their state's electoral votes in favor of Trump. Then after he wins there will be a bunch of investigations, another media circus, some low level scapegoats will go to jail, the Democrats will impeach Trump again, and then literally nothing else will happen and he'll continue to be president until he dies of a heart attack. Calling it now.
idk, Biden barely won in the first place, and that was before inflation went out of control and people stopped being able to afford anything. he's also done nothing, so maybe people voting in the 4 states that actually matter stay home instead of go out to vote.
It could go either way. It does appear that there is a real swing towards the democrats in key states like Michigan and Wisconsin, so looking at the electoral college I don't think there's gonna be a lot of difference compared to 2020. Abortion rights are still a massive sticking point and the GOP touting a federal abortion ban is probably all that's keeping Biden afloat. Honestly, it's anyone's game at this point.
yeah totally agree, people don't really talk about how close the last election was. on any given day, you probably could have had a different result.
that's not true. he bargained away the student loan pause during the Deal of the Century, flubbed the perennially shrinking student loan forgiveness order, and interest rates went up 7200% kicking the tech platform enshittification cycle into overdrive & injecting superglue into the lock protecting the housing market from normal humans.
as usual it's the DNC's race to lose, and i have no doubt they are going to have some real doozies for us this time.
He's still got the most important thing that won him the election last time: he's running against Trump.
We probably shouldn't laugh it off it entirely given what his governorship has been like.
If he dies it will not be Kamala running to replace him. It'll be a governor or maybe Sherrod Brown.
Or maybe... A mayor?
No, Pete. Go home.
If he does kick it, then Kamala will be president and the DNC will rally around the incumbent.
No way, everyone will be jumping to primary her.
State races are weird. It's for the real fans. The racism nerds.
