I have seen enough people grow older and senile and start acting totally out of character. People who I would have called progressive start supporting Trump because of old man brain.
If it weren’t for the political realities of how voting works under first-past-the-post, the progressive wing of the Democratic party could have easily split off into a separate party whose younger leadership and willingness to push for actually-meaningful change could probably have run circles around the Dems at this point.
…Man, I really wish I could vote for a presidential candidate that I actually believed in, instead of this “vote for the status-quo neoliberal or democracy dies” bullshit.
It’s pushing us into extremely weird territory to have two candidates this unpopular.
The difference is Biden unpopularity is due to uncertainty while trumps is due to EXTREME certainty that he’s a piece of garbage
Which I don’t understand. I’m certain Biden won’t institute project 2025 so the choice should be obvious.
Worst case scenario for Biden is he’s mostly absent and his cabinet has to guide him through policies making the Democratic party mostly in control.
Which is pretty much exactly what Trump’s first term was adding in a lot of grift and pointless spite.
For real. Also I doubt Biden will try to start a coup to stay in power
Disclaimer this is very unlikely.

Uncertainty my ass. Joe Biden is running on an excellent record. He is running on his policies.
People don’t care about policies.
There’s nothing uncertain about Biden at this point. It’s a matter of being in denial or anger.
