if interest rates were still sub 3% and good chicken breasts were $2.99/lb Biden would be in good electoral shape but unfortunately his lovely administration has fully destroyed the little economic security Americans did have going into 2021

kate willet is going to be surprised to discover that from here on out the “scarwy republicans” are going to be the ones who keep on running because they’re the ones getting funded by the dems, to be the boogeymen to their mere far-right policies.

For most people, it's pretty much objectively true that their lives were better in 2019 than at present day in most respects.

I can't believe after 4 years of continually worsening material conditions people aren't frothing at the mouth to vote for Biden again



Like even Trump knew getting involved in the Middle East was campaign death, and that was with Bolton champing at the bit to drag us into any conflict.
Biden got us two smoldering messes and couldn't even be bothered to lean on the fed to juice the economy.
No we got historic loss of human rights, genocide, deepening recession, and the best he can do is half-heartedly roll out a gutted student loan forgiveness program he promised he'd sign as soon as he got into office

His entire premise for the first election was to provide a stabilizing presence to restore global and domestic legitimacy to the united states and he can't even perform that function because they've got to keep him in cryostasis through most of the continually escalating crises

He's nothing, he's a void, and the mechanisms of american power are not balanced in a way right now where they can run themselves without some interference
they're all in blinking self-destruct mode

Unfortunately everyone has to vote the correct way, and more unfortunately, Mabel in Bumfuck Wyoming thinks that Joe Biden's long and proven history of rape and genocide is cringe, so she voted wrong (not for Joe), so enjoy your thousand years of darkness, which you deserve for not voting hard enough 20 years ago.

the trans hysteria is not grounded in reality and action towards it only serves to harm and torment others but so is the mexican border and the israeli conflict and he has chosen the hitler route on both of those issues

he will ban trans healthcare in his second term (or maybe even first). the feudal lords will demand it.

The person who said in this thread recently that we're heading into an age of incumbency disadvantage is probably right. Perhaps Biden and Trump are uniquely demented, but I suspect that conditions are deteriorating rapidly enough that you'd see these levels of unpopularity even with a hypothetical President who can string together a sentence. Regardless, it's not like we can test this theory since apparently Biden or Trump will be President (Trump will win lmaooo)

Biden delivered on his campaign promise (from 2008) and Built the Wall. Promises made, promises kept.

I'd believe it. The guy outside the White House will always be able to credibly claim that the guy inside it didn't fix the country. And they never will, because they can't.

I think what will guarantee this is if conditions deteriorate enough that they can no longer be offset by a President without obvious brain damage. Like, I wonder if a President Fat Governor From Illinois would have popularity ratings this bad? Maybe not in 2024, but he probably would in 2028 or 2032 or so on.

I don't think the president has real any ability to control inflation. Trump cut taxes for rich people which is inflationary and prices and interest rates were lower. Biden cut the COVID era safety net and still got higher prices and rates. He does deserve to lose because of Gaza though.

I honestly have come around to thinking Biden wins because America has no appetite for change as shown by just copying 2020's match-up and also would never do something as funny as Grover Cleveland Trump. Irrelevant to me, I'm voting Stein either way, and it's a shitshow regardless. But I guarantee I've thought more about what a Biden 2nd term can mean than your average VBNMW. They're all absolutely convinced Trump has already won, they just want an early start on punching left.

It's a toss up. Biden is certainly trying to lose despite how loving stupid Trump is, much like Clinton was. It's a matter of how absolutely incompetent the Democrat team is gonna be.

the government can do price control by providing national options (ie government brand pepsi for $3 a twelve pack) or providing ration cards for pepsi to control demand. or they can do what nixon did and threaten to throw the owners of pepsi in prison if they tried to increase their price for a certain time period.

i mean, this is a ridiculous thing to do with pepsi. but you do it to the markets are that driving up inflation. like housing and rent.
