I wish I could get a peek into the "Trump getting a second term" timeline without actually entering it.
It's beyond belief how badly Biden is polling and how immensely stupid he and his team are. Along with Trump's previous crimes and criminality - Trump has 4 criminal indictments (and ~90 charges) along with 3 civil trials coming up. And Biden's plan is not to mention that at all because they are scared they could lose a handful of votes in the suburbs. Instead - Biden's going to rally voters by mentioning such stirring and rousing topics as kitchen-table issues and Bidenomics.
If Biden wanted to win a landslide victory he would cancel all student debt immediately, no means-tested watered down bullshit. The only conclusion to make from the democrats' actions is that they don't want to win and they never have. They only win by accident and do everything in their power to lose as fast as possible before the masses start asking why good things aren't happening when they're in power.
I think they could do a number of things to win, like what you said or legalizing weed, but they moneyed interests who run the DNC are opposed to those things, so it'll never happen
You won’t - I give Biden win a 99% chance unless something crazy happens (like a huge banking collapse).
The Republican Party is practically a dead party now (which is why you see them taking more and more deranged and extreme positions) - they just don’t know it yet. But by the end of this decade, they would be a party with no real prospect of holding political power.
Good bit
what are you talking about, the 'deranged and extreme positions' have been their agenda for decades, and that they're actually enacting it is a sign of power not death throes.
Check their account name - It's a bit
they post serious half the time
Weird
I mean, it would not be a huge shock if Biden didn’t survive to the election
His presidency might make the EU finally decouple itself from the US, which would be nice
I give it 95% chance. Biden may have had a 4.5% lead in the popular vote in the last election but that's ~3% less than what the polls predicted and he only won by 44k votes across 3 states. Considering his further growing unpopularity, I expect another 2016, though it's not impossible Trump wins popular vote as well if president Walking Dead tries to put himself out there.
If Trump wins, I really hope he alienates Europe enough to pull out of their engagements with the usians. I doubt that'd kill the rabid pro-NATO fervour but at least they might resume buying gas from Russia.
I don't see how he could win, isn't his whole schtick is that he's a winner? He lost a race already, he's a fucking loser. It's possible that I don't understand Trump voters at all though and they'll vote for him regardless.
