Exactly Peaf, and to my point earlier, lets look at whats been happening in general elections in every advanced economy this year:

Estonia - government ousted.
Finland - government ousted.
Greece - government held on with the same level of support(!!!).
Luxembourg - government ousted.
New Zealand - government ousted.
Poland - government ousted.
Slovakia - government ousted.
Spain - unclear, but government support reduced.
Thailand - government ousted.
Turkey - government held on with reduced support.

Really every government is getting a beating lately except for Greece. If you followed that election at all it was largely down to one of the biggest failures of opposition Ive ever seen, a left-wing progressive party just going out and saying we are anti-establishment so we want to court the Neo-Nazi vote, no Im not exaggerating. Anyway when you look at polls around the world you see the same thing, sitting governments are on a course for a trouncing in Canada, France, Germany, the UK, Ireland, and so on. This is ultimately a result of the huge cost of living crisis thats basically everywhere. Politically it is looking like 2008 all over again.

The funny thing is, compared to all the examples I just listed (except Greece) Biden is polling much better. The USs general polarisation, Roe v. Wade, and his opponent being Trump are definitely advantages other current leaders dont have. I also think that the fact that the current Republican-held house is an absolute clown show may help. But right now it looks 50/50 at best for the Democrats holding on in 2024 and probably worse than that.
