    Do you remember the number on this “incumbent advantage”? The establishment didn’t just switch out Biden on a whim. Biden literally fucked his chances at winning at the debate. You are barking up the wrong tree

        Biden was never going to win. He is actively losing his marbles. It was so painfully obvious even Democrats had to accept it.

        Yes incumbent advantage is real, but Biden had so many other disadvantages that he’d have never won.

        It sucks but it is what it is.

          And yet now everyone has to pretend that a single coherent thought comes out of Trumps mouth in any given 5 minutes.

            Did I say I’m happy about trump either? No. It just is what it is. The democrat party knew that pushing for Biden last election had a chance for this to happen.

        It is an advantage useful when it’s not enough to win? Do you not remember the numbers at the time?! For all the pro genocide and ignoring of his base, going on TV and having a senior moment for an hour ended all discussion on the matter. The fact that the internal fighting in its aftermath is proof that Biden did not have the confidence of his base. Harris is the current vice president, if you wanted an incumbent advantage that it’s what you had. And to argue that “burden would have won i told you so!” Is to argue from ignorance. You don’t know, and all evidence pointed to it not being so.

          I mean, if they really really really wanted that incumbent advantage, Biden could have stepped out.

            What i do know is that confidence in Biden was in the shitter. Wile republicans have never had any consideration about trumps mental decline as long as he was their monster, left wing voters are fractional based on attaining left ideals, of which Biden did not achieve. Add on to that where Biden was in Obvious decline, it’s no wonder that there was infighting on his viability. The fact that there was even a discussion means that the incumbency was worth fuck and all.

            You should be angry but all evidence points to your “i told you so!” Is incorrect. Trump won the popular vote, end of.
