    The new survey from The Times/SAY24 found Biden trailing Trump in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The closest races, according to the polls, were in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

    It’s weird going red once in decades makes states a “battleground”…

    An average Dem would be a lock in some of those states. But the last three elections we keep running candidates no one wants

    It’s like the party so how popular Obama was and decided to just do the opposite of everything people liked about him

      Yeah Obama did ACA and basically other than that just wasn’t a POS (domestically) and that was enough for people to love him because the usual standard is pure corporate dogshit

      And so Biden did reduced income inequality, union support, huge action on climate change, corporate tax increases, hundreds of billions of dollars on student loan forgiveness, and then told the media “hey I need you to tell them I caused inflation and I hate working people and I’m old and stupid and smell bad and there’s nothing good about me even if the other guy is not just corporate and corrupt but literally wants to destroy the country”

      So yeah it really is kind of Biden’s fault at the end of the day, I do see what you mean
