    I don’t think Trump is going to win in the rematch, but it’s going to be an “unexpected” nailbiter like 2020. If Biden does kick the bucket and they have Kamala running, then yeah Trump is going to win by 5 points or so even if it’s from prison.

    idk, Biden barely won in the first place, and that was before inflation went out of control and people stopped being able to afford anything. he’s also done nothing, so maybe people voting in the 4 states that actually matter stay home instead of go out to vote.

      It could go either way. It does appear that there is a real swing towards the democrats in key states like Michigan and Wisconsin, so looking at the electoral college I don’t think there’s gonna be a lot of difference compared to 2020. Abortion rights are still a massive sticking point and the GOP touting a federal abortion ban is probably all that’s keeping Biden afloat. Honestly, it’s anyone’s game at this point.

        yeah totally agree, people don’t really talk about how close the last election was. on any given day, you probably could have had a different result.

    • he’s also done nothing

      that’s not true. he bargained away the student loan pause during the Deal of the Century, flubbed the perennially shrinking student loan forgiveness order, and interest rates went up 7200% kicking the tech platform enshittification cycle into overdrive & injecting superglue into the lock protecting the housing market from normal humans.

      as usual it’s the DNC’s race to lose, and i have no doubt they are going to have some real doozies for us this time.
