With the Republicans going full mask-off in their corruption and disdain for democracy, and with how many states are under GQP control courtesy of how much they've already rigged the game, I think Trump is going to steal the election even more brazenly than Bush did in 2000. And Biden and the Democrats either can't or won't do anything to stop it.Do you guys think it'll be another close election?
trying real hard to live up to that name thereOn a presidential level, Trump is definitely not even remotely close to a good person. But his administration did far better than Biden for the average Joe. I cant even name one landmark legislation Biden passed.
Biden leads then Trump some bullshit comeback and wins. America is screwed.
Biden should win easily except in the Bible Belt and a few useless flyover states.I'm sure that's what hillary thought too.
I see it being the opposite i.e. a repeat of 2020 where it looks like Trump won then mail-in ballots flood in, Biden takes the lead, people cry and scream fraud and eventually Biden wins more comfortably than it appears at first.
I'm sure that's what hillary thought too.This post would have made a lot more sense in 2020. Not 2024.
Life was definitely better for the average Joe when Trump was president, with huge tax cuts, lower cost of goods, lower gas prices, and better stability in the world, even with a global pandemic to boot.
In contrast, under Bidens administration, wealth inequality grew, Roe vs Wade was overturned, inflation is crazy, two giant conflicts began (Israel/Palestine and Ukraine/Russia), and the biggest thing hes done is to forgive student loans to attempt to buy Gen Z/Millennial votes (which obviously isnt even working since these younger college kids hate Bidens stance on Israel and are destroying their own universities for some reason).

As a voter in a swing state, Im leaning towards Trump at this point. Bidens administration didnt make my life any better.
To be fair, most of those are not Biden's fault. Roe vs Wade was overturned because of the conservatives taking the majority in the SC, and that's thanks to the Trump admin.
This post would have made a lot more sense in 2020. Not 2024.No it wouldn't. 2020 was during a global pandemic which is way out of the ordinary. 2024 has a lot more similarities to 2016 than 2020. There's a milquetoast candidate claiming the status quo is fine, ignoring what large groups of people are saying, and there's the other candidate who is saying he's going to change everything. Republicans are far more passionate about their candidate.

To be fair, Biden isn't responsible for anything the idiot posted except for maybe having a hand in inflation, which was already out of control from Trump's time in office, most notably his botching of containing COVID and the extent to which we needed government assistance to re-stimulate the economy. Also, Americans who want a lower cost of living at the expense of living standards and likely the very survivability of upcoming generations can all eat shit. Terrible,, hypocritical people to their cores living in all the ways the New Testament said not to.Hes the commander in chief. Whatever happens, its his responsibility. I would say the same for any president sitting in that chair. Own the issue and dont deflect.

Own the issue and dont deflect.That's an incredibly simplistic take on the US presidency. He doesn't control the SC, for example. There's nothing he can do if the previous admin put a conservative majority there (two of whom I would say are not even qualified for their positions).

Its strange to me that Republicans can stick together and achieve their goals but Democrats cannot (Im reminded of the time that Republicans refused to anoint Obamas SC choice for months, and then just shoehorned their own choice shortly thereafter).

Think about that. do you try to learn or do you just listen to what others say?Its funny that you mention marijuana, because Trumps administration, despite Trump selecting Sessions as his attorney general, stayed quiet and let the states do their own thing when it came to marijuana decriminalization.
Marijuana just changed scheduling. That's pretty big. We're close to it becoming legal, and now it can actually be researched.
Like, that just happened within the past month.
Consider your news sources if you can't remember something that happened within the past month.
Biden just created a job Corps for climate control, similar to the depression, to create jobs that actually benefit people and their surroundings. That basically just happened.
Oh, Biden also made sure to protect the grand canyon, a giant landmark of America, from being used up by businesses.
so there's three things that he's done. Again, consider your news sources if they're really not saying anything this president has done.
iirc, Trump did very, very little from an executive standpoint.
So matching Republicans' level of extremity is the winning strategy?I wish democrats would be extreme in pursuing things like government-provided healthcare, taxing the rich, being anti-war, making education affordable, etc. That would excite voters, yes.
