Hell yeah.

I opened up Tiktok today and the homepage video is a guy chilling at the beach and talking about connecting to Allah everyday. You think YouTube or Facebook's dumb poo poo algorithm will do that? By Allah no.

2008 was the last time it seemed like an actual grassroots leftist movement could take root and all that energy got channeled into electing Barack Obama who immediately disbanded all of his organizing infrastructure and bailed the banks out.

Hell is too good for him.

His problem was caring too much.

More than two million Indians died in the first few months of Biden’s presidency, and it didn’t perturb him in the slightest.

the loss of human life bothered him briefly, at least. biden never cared about a single other human beyond what use he could make of them. this includes his family, alive or dead. it's the difference between a bad person and a monster.

RV (registered voters) doesn't have the suppressed turnout modeling that Biden needs to win. Biden is relying on a bunch of Trump voters staying home for one reason or another.

I think Trump is the clear frontrunner (though there's a chance of anything happening because these, once again, are historically unliked individuals). That said, I think the poll is an outlier. The general trajectory for Biden isn't good regardless.

The truly apocalyptic polls will come next month. The Democrats are calling young liberals anti-semites while having them beaten, arrested, expelled, and fired.

Trump outperformed polling in both 2016 and 2020.

Pollsters are fail, but lol that the Democrats are banking that this time the discrepancy will favor them.

I think it's reasonable to assume some percent of folks who didn't vote for Biden in the primary will come vote for him in November. What's not reasonable is assuming everyone will 'come home' in November no matter how much the dems tell them to eat poo poo in the months leading up to it.

They absolutely took the wrong lesson from 2020, that even promising to work against the left flank of the party and non-committed voters a historic number of people will come out against Trump.

This election is honestly a generational bag-fumbling contest. By rights, Trump ought to be 10 points ahead (and a generic Democrat would be like 6 or 7 points ahead of Trump - honest to God, I think even Harris would be ahead by like 2 or 3 at this point). By rights, neither of these people should come even close to winning a Presidential election in 2024. I don't mean "should" in a moral sense, either - I mean this is not something that ought to be statistically possible. An incumbent this decrepit, incompetent, and universally disliked doesn't win re-election. An almost-equally-unpopular guy up on dozens of felony charges doesn't win an election. It's just not something that happens. But somehow, one of them is going to win, because each candidate is running as though they'll get the rights to draft Victor Wembanyama if they lose.

"I'm gonna run for a second term even though I gave my word that I wouldn't, then ban TikTok, do absolutely nothing to end a genocidal campaign that I could stop with a phone call, piss off all my core constituencies, and tell everybody who's mad about having to spend their whole paycheck on groceries that they're lying about the economy not being great!" vs. "We're going to argue in front of the Supreme Court that the President can kill whoever he wants if he can think of a good enough excuse for it, right after our appointed justices hear a case saying women who get pregnant don't, strictly speaking, have a constitutional right to be alive anymore." DeSantis made a half-assed attempt to sell America on "I'll be just like Trump, but not under dozens of felony indictments," but succeeded only in making America realize that he is the biggest loving dweeb in the world.

It'd be fantastic entertainment if I didn't have to actually live in the world that results from it.

They are the parties choices, we have no choice but to vote for worthless people.

There's also some number who voted uncommitted in the primary who didn't vote for Biden last election, but idk what that number is. I'm part of that, here in MI, so there's at least one

It will be interesting to see how this fucks with volunteer numbers. That dumb post earlier showing that he's "only" lost 6% of youth voters over Palestine had someone point out that losing all your door knockers would probably suck. Then a bunch of people were gloating in the comments that actually most GOTV people are middle-aged ladies so Biden will be fine if no young people volunteer and he definitely won't have to spend all the Lizzo fundraiser money paying for people to knock on doors (and pray that they don't just chill on a bench and say they did it).
