Maybe it will be like 2012 how i couldn’t imagine dem winning, but i think it will be reverse of 2020 when it was like “how could trump STILL come so close to winning except he wins”
Won’t sdny have indicted him at that point? 10/10/2021 10:33:04 PM |

Hopefully, but the wheels of justice are painfully slow. Maybe he'll just choke on a hamberder before 2024 and save us all the drama. Remember when GWB choked on a pretzel?

2024 is gonna suck.
I assume that both parties will nominate non-starters, and unless one of them is someone catastrophic like Trump (or also Sanders or similar), I'll probably sit out. 10/17/2021 12:14:28 AM |

I did that last time, but that was an extreme case.
This is, at best, gonna be turd sandwich vs turd sandwich. I’ll probably only vote turd sandwich if one side picks something even worse than that. 10/17/2021 9:59:21 AM |

As much as I expected Jan 6 and the shit show of 2020 would have prevented Trump from ever being in public again he seems to still be having rallies. Hopefully he's crushed in the primaries and so embarrassed he ends up killing himself by crashing a helicopter into a vacant mall.
Expecting Kamala/Pelosi or just Pelosi against someone like Desantis. About 2 months ago you could get 2000:1 odds on that ticket. 10/17/2021 2:03:45 PM |

I'm implying she'll already be pres or VP before the election so she's already queued up on the ticket.
There is a much better odds position that Biden isn't in office in 2024.

People not being happy with Biden is not the same as people wanting Trump. Biden has tied a lot of his image to this infrastructure bill, and the GOP is doing everything they can to sink it. It's like like ACA which made Obama unpopular, but now people don't want to get rid of it. 10/24/2021 4:59:09 PM |

i'm disappointed with Biden, most broadly speaking, because he is proving to be well to the left of where i expected him to be. I don't plan on voting for him again unless the GOP nominates someone beyond distasteful, to the point of being particularly catastrophic. 10/25/2021 7:07:41 PM |
ElGimpy All American 3111 Posts user info edit post |
A ton of Democrats disappointed in Biden for not being very liberal and anti trump Republicans disappointed because he’s too far left than what they were expecting. Can you give some examples of exactly what he’s done that’s too far left and what you were expecting?
Also it seems pretty likely the republican nominee will be Trump or Desantis, would you say either of them are tasteful enough for your vote? Because they’re both awful 10/25/2021 11:27:37 PM |

He has moved right on essentially every major campaign promise. If you expected him to be more right you were daydreaming 10/25/2021 11:37:49 PM |

It's hard to be disappointed when I knew Biden would behave exactly as he has been. He's a lukewarm body that's trying desperately to turn the temperature down before the country completely destroys itself, and I also don't see how anyone could expect him to clean up Trump's 4 year mess in 10 months, let alone a full term.
He's also a politician, so if he's going to get rid of student loan debt and raise the minimum wage, he might as well wait a few months after another shitty holiday COVID surge thins the heard a bit so he and the Dems can try and win a few races come midterms. 10/27/2021 12:20:33 AM |

Rent is obviously different in places like Manhattan compared to Smalltown, USA. Different landlords charge differently. It's not some national blanket. As for inflation, the best solution is for wages to catch up but that's not that easy. 10/27/2021 2:29:04 AM |

What has Biden done in the last 10 months to make Rent, gas prices, and inflation high do you think? Or what should he have done to make them low?

What policies would Republicans implement to cause inflation to increase less slowly?
Any inflation that we've seen thus far seems to largely be due to global, residual effects from the pandemic. 10/27/2021 10:52:23 AM |

I think it's too early to say that those two frontrunners are near-inevitable.
Trump is bad enough that I would vote for Biden again. DeSantis, I'd probably just abstain on that race.11/5/2021 9:27:12 PM |

^ I don't think desantis wants to play 2nd fiddle to trump.
I do think desantis would beat trump in a primary though. despite the wing nuts on the right, the broader gop does realize trump is toxic to their ideology as conservatives.
republicans want a "smart trump" . someone who will fight for the white race, but who also knows how to form a competent governing coalition.
