Absent a pandemic Trump wipes the loving floor with Joe. I think it'd be a mistake to read too much into 2020. If the election were held in 2022 Joe would probably beat Trump, but 2024 is so far away and we have no idea what will happen to Joe. But we do know that the Dems will absolutely fall flat on their loving face in 2022 and subsequently do nothing except expand the cold war vs China - but not enough to satisfy the jingoists.

It feels like the opposite because everyone has at least 1 tweet or Facebook post they regret and hope everyone just forgot about it so you’re more likely to empathize

Like with job interviews,As more millennials get into positions of power they’re not going to disqualify a candidate cause they have a picture of them doing a keg stand 5 years ago

Putting aside the people who have known since childhood like Buttigieg that they're going to run for office and so have been excruciatingly careful about what they say under their real names, it's the rare politician who doesn't do this.

Anyone running for office who doesn't scrub their social media before even considering making noise about running is an idiot and leaving that poo poo up is way more of a red flag to me than having dumbass opinions as a young adult.

As much as there's a growing cultural expectation that partying as a young adult isn't disqualifying, there has never been a cultural expectation that we should be able to go back through a candidate's pre-public life social media and see what they were up to.

If they leave something up that's embarrassing, that's regarded as fair game, but if it's not there anymore and no one's got an archive, no one but the most partisan of hacks is gonna give a poo poo that they scrubbed it.

yeah there aren't going to be primaries for 2024 on either side. If Trump decides to run I wouldn't be surprised if the GOP outright cancels them

If Biden actually croaks though I could possibly see a primary against Kamala given how unpopular she is, but its also possible that the DNC cancels them too. Given the new jim crow bills being passed nowadays and the refusal of the democrats to pass HR1 it seems that the elites have decided that de jure democracy is almost past its shelf life

This is why I don't understand at all why so many people use thier real name online nowadays outside of places like Facebook. Like, I'm confident that any committed person or agency could easily doxx any of us based on 20 years of posts, so it isn't as if I think message boards are truly anonymous. But posts wouldn't show up on a Google search of our names with no effort for a journalist or oppo researcher like a lot of Instagrams, twitter accounts, and even other message boards where real names are common.

See, the SB1 thing is to me the most important possible thing, because where I sit, if the party sits back and lets whatever is going to happen happen like they did under Obama, it literally won't matter what the national party manages to do because my state will just ignore it and my mostly worthless vote will become entirely worthless as the state GOP make it illegal to vote for a Democrat so I wont even have my local downballot

Joe refuses to act against his good friends the Republicans. The Republicans have passed vote controls and will block elections from now until Trump reobtains power, and Ammon Bundy is about to rebel against Joe Biden and probably turn Oregon Republican in 2024.

Joe Biden was the worst president that could have ever been elected.

The only way we’re going to keep anything resembling a democracy is if Biden has a Bill Barr style group of badgeless guys with guns to black bag every chud election commissioner trying to Calvinball a stolen win and rendition them to wherever trump put antifa types. So we’re screwed basically.

Republicans might be an existential threat to the country, but doing anything about it would be an existential threat some of Joe's most cherished friendships. And if democrats lose the house and Senate on 2022 just think of all the bipartisan deals he can make with those good friends.
