So thanks libs for 4 years of gaslighting our asses that nothing was wrong with Biden and YOU were the crazy one to think otherwise. Glad we wasted more years on yet another do nothing empty suit while fascism has had more time to consolidate and not to mention the ever worsening climate disaster.

    Honestly I’ve just resigned myself to Copmala being the functioning president. I think she’s going to win since Trump lost his mojo and nobody outside of the diehard ride or die MAGA are still with him, I think at least.

      Libs like to say it’s hard for Trump to appeal to new voters. But the opposite of that is that he has a certain percentage of voters absolutely locked in. Kamala doesn’t have that. Also - the GOP has been working really hard to give themselves the ability to cause chaos leading up to election and more chaos beyond up until January 6th.

      I think there are two reasons Trump isn’t campaigning. One, he’s scared of getting assassinated. Two, he expects the GOP justices on the supreme court will hand him an illegimate victory. Estimations of the vote on or after election day could show Kamala clearly won because she got the most Electoral College votes. But in the meanwhile GOP in one or more swing states contest the results and take the issue to court because… reasons. If a state case goes to the supreme court that means they’ll side with Trump and he wins.

      For example Trump totally controls the electoral board in Georgia and they are going out of their way to create post-election chaos. Pro-Trump Georgia election board votes to require hand counts of ballots.

      I think she’ll win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote. Georgia especially is looking like a Republican steal with their new election interference laws.

      This does not seem to be what the polls suggest at all. If she wins, it looks like it’s going to be closer than 2020. He’s beating his numbers with most non-white demographics already.

      I’m not so sure.

      The fact that the approval rating for trump-anguish stayed pretty much exactly where it was before and after every incident of the formerly wet boy drying out suggests that roughly half of the voting population sees trump-moist as a manifestation of whatever they already believed he was, no matter what he says or does. It’s that thing about shooting someone in broad daylight and no one minding.

      Maybe, but we’ve seen this before. No one thought he’d win the first time but pollsters strongly undercounted his supporters, who didn’t respond to polls to begin with. Liberal arrogance played its role too, of course, as it usually does.
