And for a very simple reason…he hasn’t been racist and genocidal enough, Biden has, so Trump loses pure and simple

While you and me see dead children on TV, the American “middle class” see dead terrorists and soon the dems will tie inflation to Yemen and can literally construct a narrative about “bombing inflation” a consultants wet dream

When the initial shock of recent events wears off, American voters won’t punish Biden, they’ll reward him with the wartime boost he’s been looking for since Ukraine

Trump in the meantime is still babbling about 2020 and his court dates, he needs at least five “Mexican rapist” stump speeches to reach parity with Biden

It’s Joever folks, Biden secured 2024 with the blood Palestinians the same way Bush secured 2004 with the blood of Iraqi, it even has a historical symmetry that rhymes

    Do you live in the south or a rural part of the US? They give zero fucks how racist Biden is and think he isn’t being racist enough. Republican constituency are a lot like libs who only like wars and bloodshed when their guy is doing it. Instead they’re angry over their money going to Israel and Ukraine, bad economy, and the perceived weakness of America against the Houthis. They’re also mad about “woke culture” even though Biden has been the complete opposite of that. Just him being a Democrat makes them think he pushes it.

    I’ve talked to people who think he made Covid regulations even stricter when it’s been the complete opposite. Never underestimate the vibes-based politics of right-wingers and the “apolitical” types that tend to follow them.

    Republicans are a cockroach in politics that are always expected to be on the verge of death and then manage to come back when people least expect it. Happened during reconstruction, Post-ww2, Post-Great Society, and Post-Obama.

      Not alot of swing states in the south, and you could’ve made this comment in 2020, it doesn’t matter what southern chuds think, the action is in northern and western suburbs and those quiet chuds are happy enough with Biden and bored of Trump

      If ALL the chuds in the country hated Biden to that degree he never would’ve won 2020, Biden is a dem but he’s not Obama or Clinton, he doesn’t trigger them to that degree

      And as far as the dem’s voting blocs are concerned, most Americans don’t vote including minorities, the voting blocs are made up of richer and more middle class elements of minority groups, they’ll get in line the minute the dnc blows the horn

      Don’t even count on the so-called Arab American vote to hold out, cause as a member of the diaspora I’m telling you the diaspora ain’t shit, end of the day they’re just as American as anyone else and Americans (especially voter freaks) go along to get along

    I have been saying this for a while: the Democrats are eating the Republican Party’s lunches - from racism, immigration, to warmongering and “fighting terrorism”, and support for the police force. It’s hard to think that this is not a deliberate strategy.

    There is a reason why the Republicans have gone crazy with the abortion issues and anti-trans legislation - not that they haven’t been doing those cryptically, but because these are the only fringe issues left for them to rally their increasingly deranged chud supporters.

    Even more, Biden has delivered the best performance yet for the richest of the donor class. $1 trillion handout from 5% interest rate hike, S&P500 at record heights (50% higher than Trump’s highest point just 3 years ago, can you believe that), and not only that, they managed to screw the working class and especially the black and Hispanic communities while upper middle class white families benefited most from Biden’s policies.

    The rich absolutely relishes in screwing the lower class. It’s not just enough to make more money, they have to kick the ladder along the way to quench some unspeakable ghoulish urge. And Biden gave them just that - black unemployment has gone up while white unemployment has gone down, as one example.

    At least for the smart Republicans who want to keep black people out of their neighborhoods, Biden has delivered. Trump likes to talk big but his achievements had been pale in comparison.

    Having said that, I don’t know why the Democrats are so worried about Biden losing though. Them wanting to bar Trump from running in certain states suggests some concerns about Biden’s electability, and this can only backfire on them if they’re not careful.

      this can only backfire on them if they’re not careful.

      “I’m voting Haley because she’s not Trump” I have actually been wondering about this since his entire campaign is literally just “he’s not Trump” what happens if someone else gets the nomination? I think it’s reasonable to assume it would depress turnout from both parties unless it is due to something that can be pointed at as Democratic corruption like blocking Trump from the ballot, in which case I would guess it would only depress dem turnout.

      Though I am not clear if this does anything for write-ins or not so I don’t know if we would see our first actual spoiler candidate.

    It’s inevitable that the Republican Party will wither away, as they are the backward force representing less developed areas in the U.S. and they lag behind the tide of imperialism (opposition to Ukraine support, “America first,” support to troops only nationalistically) represented by the Democratic Party which has its support in the big cities and undoubtedly holds the majority base. Republicans are only kept around as a “bad cop” to rally support for the Democrats and prevent the emergence of an alternative movement.

    We’ve seen progressive legal action taken recently by several Democratic states to remove Trump from the primary/Presidential ballot, which you could say won’t have much impact on the election considering how things are run in the U.S., and might even be overturned when the Supreme Court weighs in. At the same time it is the central government that’s been peddling the Jan. 6 insurrection myth, so you could take this to mean that the feds understand the Republicans should be vilified but still given the potential of taking power, while Democratic states/local officials are not clued in and take the federal government’s statements to their logical conclusion.

    You can never be sure what will happen in the future, as Biden or Trump might die or whatever else, but I have $400 on Trump losing and I’m pretty lucky, so I’d write that down as a lock.
