It's incredible to me that Biden won the most votes out of any president in this country's history. He had a historic, record-smashing win. And he fucked it all up so badly that he has a very good chance of losing to the same opponent in the rematch. That's how horribly he's fucked everything up. He got into office and immediately started making everything worse, so much so that people are either nostalgic for the Orange Man or are so apathetic that they won't bother.

It's going to be a fascinating series of results. My shaky idea is that Trump will win, because most of everyone under the age of 30 or so is just going to stay home and they weren't likely to vote for Trump anyway.

I don’t think Palestine is going to be as big a contributing factor to Biden losing if he does. The man is just hated by the general public. It’s really a toss-up at this point as to who wins but I think it will be close either way.

i don't know at this point, i really don't. i struggle to remember a time when both parties were so openly hostile to the very notion of progress and refuse to even pretend that popular democratic will matters.

It's all dependent on swing states. The news is gonna make it out to be some big nationwide battle but the reality is it's gonna come down to how ignorant people in like 5 states are.

If the average voter hates non whites wouldn't they vote for Donald who "both sides"ed a literal nazi rally? What trump might do is spend money to do genocide at home instead of wasting it on them good or nothing isralies which will get more of those non-white hating folk on his side.

It's perfectly possible to be racist and still not on board with genocide. Also just the general vibe is bad for Biden. People wanted a return to normalcy after trump/COVID and if anything the world has gotten more bizarre. Personally I am somewhat nostalgic for the trump years, the last 4 years have been the worst of my life and I'm surely not the only one. Not that that should have anything to do with who is president but also people are even dumber about politics than they are in general

Trump is a literal moron who's only as smart as the last guy he talked to, classic Joe Rogan brain, while Biden is a much more stable pick for capitalism. I know it seems like the hogs are winning but I feel like they're a really loud minority and american capitalism doesn't want another 4 years of Trump.

Palestine in and of itself won’t sink him. However, if you add in inflation hitting the essentials hard and the housing market going into unobtainium territory, that will be enough to get a second Trump term.

If Biden wins I hope he at least dies in office or something.

Democrats are roasting Republicans in special elections everywhere, which is where the most politically engaged voters show up. This might indicate that as the country tunes in to the election, Biden will gain. Democrats have had a massive advantage since the Dobbs decision, and even Biden's shittiness might not overcome it.

I do think he'll narrowly win ultimately, assuming he lives, but it's not like it really matters. It will probably personally affect those of us in the US one way or another, but neither are going to do anything about 9/11 every day.
