| Jesus, the boTh SidES BS is thick in here. You want a better option? Stop swinging for the fences every four years and build an actual alternative at the grass roots level. That means town, county, state level. This No Labels BS is nothing more than a stalking horse for the GOP, hoping to split independents and Dems because they know their shrinking base of Angry White Men and their actual policies (to the extent they actually HAVE policies anymore) are about as popular as painful rectal itch. |
This is the correct way of looking at it. Polling said we've have a Red Wave. The indicators of a strong Dem turnout were there but corporate media was focused on polling. Those indicators: high small-dollar donations, high turnout in special elections with Dem flips, and of course anger over Roe. You need to stop looking at polls and deal with the reality that Americans are not divided 50-50. We are much closer to 55 D - 45 and for younger people, they skew heavily toward Dem policies, even if they register unaffiliated. And they are coming into the electorate at a very fast rate while boomers die. And before you scream "Young people don't vote" that is also false. If registered. young people vote at the same levels as their older counterparts. It's the fact that so few are registered that's the problem. The GOP knows this. That is why they make it harder for them to register to vote. Sometimes they can't register until 2 months before their 18 birthday. Who the F remembers that? Face it, the GOP is a zombie party. The question is how long until they realize it. |
| Right, the GOP needs some fresh blood if it is going to match up with kids like Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, Sanders, Warren, & Feinstein. |
Just because people are old does not mean they are all the same. Trump is old and an incredibly weak candidate on top of that. He does not attract much beyond his maga base and that is not enough to win |

RNC will not nominate a rapist even though many are sexual deviants themselves. Trump will not be the nominee. DeSantis will not be the nominee. Christie might be. GenZ will not only vote against abortion ban, they’ll sweepingly vote along the my body, my choice line. This includes access to birth control and Plan B. Say what you will about this next Gen, but they are way more politically savvy than you know. Gun violence, misogyny, body autonomy, climate change, socio/racial inequity, LGBTQ rights are their top issues. In addition, they will continue to choose ethical businesses for employment and consumerism. Millennials will follow suit. Less boomers voting. GOP will flatline spectacularly.
If Biden wins, it’ll be autopilot compared to the chaos of this first term. He’s set the foundation. |
2021 was a fluke. This year will be interesting-I think we’re going to swing back blue for the legislature with all the nonsense Youngkin’s admin has pulled. |
LOL. More people voted Republican in the midterms in 2022 than Democrats. The Democrats performed much better than expected but a lot of it came down to how the votes fell in safe seats and marginal seats. Republicans continue to lead in the voter preference for the House. By the way, latest polls: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/2024/ Most recent one has Trump and Biden tied at 50% each. |
Well, I certainly hope it'll be "autopilot" - he won't be capable of anything more by that time. |
He is capable of denying trump a win which is the most important mission facing this country. |
The link you provided shows Biden beating Trump in most of the recent polls. |
And then what? A Harris presidency? No thank you. |
Ok. Please please nominate trump. Ihe is such a winner candidate and I am sure he will do as amazing as last time around. |
Agree 100%. The political information bubbles are difficult to escape and most of us are in them. |
Oh boy, so exciting. Trump and Biden tied at 50%. Aren't we just so fortunate to have this awesome match-up once again. Battle of Titans 2. |
Yes more people voted R but not many. Y’all were screaming RED WAVE!, more like a trickle. Where is counts, in the battleground states, Dems are crushing it. Who cares about Arkansas, the Dakotas, Missouri (although I really wish we could unseat Hawley). Biden will crush Trump. And it will be Trump, the GOP refused the MANY off-ramps. Maybe losing a third times is a charm? |
