I feel like when Trump was first running everybody considered him a joke candidate outside the redneck community. And yet look where we ended up. I don’t think it’s safe to assume any democratic nominee is in any sort of lead or decent position until the polls been called. People get too relaxed they Don’t bother voting because they see a foregone conclusion and that is a dangerous thing
if you can’t grasp by now the myriad ways this cycle would be different from 2016 for trump, i don’t think there’s any way to get through to you on the matter. you’ll just have to sit back and watch.
I hope you are right. I just think there is a strong base, a lot of people who don’t like Biden and there are (way too) many republican politicians willing to dance to his tune.
The fact that we’re talking about either of these guys as viable candidates, and that they will likely be the nominations, is wild. Biden would be 86 and Trump would be 82 if they make it to the end of the term.
Who's we? As Dem who watched him destroy Trump in the debates and election plus the amount of progressive leaning bills that have been passed on super thin majorities make hmm the perfect person to do it again
And Democratic people that wants more progressive policies do and are able to do it via downballot. It’ll take time when demographics shift to liberal-majority which is really arguably center-ish at best. At the moment, we have 1/3 liberal, 1/3 moderate, and 1/3 conservative.
As it stands, political scientists expect Donald Trump to win the Republican nomination for president. Most GOP candidates are in lockstep with Trumpist policies and culture wars, failing to differentiate in an already scattered field; despite the appearance of a united front, factions within the party cannot agree on when and how to pass hardline legislation. Traditional conservative forces are looking for a less volatile alternative with a more viable path to win the general election, and as that concern mounts, some experts say Biden could be narrowly re-elected if the race is a rematch of 2020.
