The numbers don't lie, indeed, and Trump's voter increase between 2016 and 2020 was massive by historical standards. He picked up more than 14 million ADDITIONAL votes vs. his 2016 victory, the biggest incumbent President vote increase in 50 years.

And indeed Joe Biden was a terrible candidate--a shell of his former self who had failed to garner even significant primary support in his multiple previous Presidential bids while younger, sharper, and healthier.

But he needed to beat Barack Obama's vote getting record by more than 12 million votes to eke out a victory over the strong candidate Trump. He needed a pandemic, a change in mail-in voting rules, 25 million extra voters, and an extra week of counting to win by 70,000 votes across the three deciding swing states. Joe Biden's electoral performance in 2020 was astonishing, the strongest by any Presidential candidate ever. And it was NEEDED, because Trump's electoral performance in 2020 was also astonishing, the strongest by any Presidential candidate ever except for Joe Biden 2020. Trump had been demonized as a Russian spy for years by Democrats and had already been impeached, and still he set these records.

Maybe you just hate Trump and have to keep insisting to yourself that he was a weak candidate?

But I suspect you hate the Democrats more and you want them to keep sleepwalking, keep ignoring voter preferences, and keep hoping they can win solely by campaigning against Trump even though Trump won't be running.

Anyway, I think it's wonderful that you're always here on every thread about how Democrats can win, and with which candidate, to insist again and again and again that Democrats should do nothing, don't have to worry about it, don't need to think about strong candidates, and can just trust that Democrats will easily win with whatever candidate emerges from the DNC-donor-controlled primaries that you say will "hopefully" be fair this time. LOL.

This poster has your back, Dems. He says you don't need a candidate, you shouldn't change any policies, and you'll easily beat any Republican who runs. He'll say it hundreds of more times! He's got a very high tolerance for typing the same things over and over again!

Trump LOST to Joe frickin Biden. Enough said. Dems can run another Joe Biden in 2028 and they'll still win because Trump will be the sitting POTUS with a 38% job approval rating. Stop overthinking it. Unpopular presidents lead to guaranteed losses and that's all we've seen since 2017. Policy means nothing when the sitting POTUS is an unfit 80 year old. Been here, done this.

Democrats, we can stop strategizing now. Our friendly demoralization specialist prolific poster keeps telling us that Republicans can't win because Trump's approval rating is low. This is the pattern he says he has seen since 2017. So we're all set. We don't need a candidate and we don't need policies that appeal to voters. We just need to sit back, relax, and enjoy this pattern that will guarantee us an easy victory.

First of all, I'm not sure what this so called strategizing you're seeking to do with a bunch of hyper-partisan dimwits and RNC and DNC scum trolls on an anonymous political forum. Second of all, Dems do not need to reinvent the wheel to get back on track. They can simply nominate a normal Obama/Clinton type and the world will breath a sigh of relief. Nominate another Biden and we're screwed again.
