While I have always believed Joe is our best chance, it is pretty clear regardless of the

[still_one]

outcome, it would not have mattered who our candidate was, this was always going to be a very tough fight

1. So We Just Accept The Fact Half This Country Are Willing To Vote For This Piece Of Shit? nt

[still_one]

3. It sure looks that way

[TreasonousBastard]

4. What are the options?

[TwilightZone]

5. Well, clearly, that's true.

His approval rating is pretty much exactly what it was in 2016. We overestimated the number of people who would bail on him. Obviously, it's not much more than zero.

[PTWB]

11. That's how voting works, for good and bad.

[joshcryer]

2. Yeah, I am finally glad to see this vindication of the Democratic Party.

This wasn't fucking easy. This was never going to be easy. There is a population in the United States that is simply against goodness, against fairness, against kindness, against love, against everything. Evil people prosper.

[still_one]

6. I agree. Whatever happens, I believe we have done all we could have, and I hope we will

win, but if we don't it won't be our fault

[tman]

7. Barack Obama. Setting aside the 22nd amendment, The Obama coalition and ground game was powerful.

..but I agree.

[betsuni]

8. Yes, this year makes it perfectly clear there's no such thing as just getting the right

candidate. The economy has be in Great Depression shape for a Democrat to win, as it was in 2008, and "it's the economy, stupid" for Bill Clinton.

9. Because we have a bunch of dumbass people.

its the only way to explain it.

[still_one]

10. exactly, but I would be much more harsh then just the description of dumbass, and

refer to a lot of racist, sexist, and bigots

[BlueStater]

12. I don't agree.

I think Obama would have beat the asshole handily.

There’s very little personal enthusiasm for Biden himself and I believe that has hurt him, unfortunately.

[SweetieD]

13. I agree but out of the candidates I think Biden is performing better than anyone else would

have.

Still there has to be some talent in the Democratic party to develop.

[still_one]

14. It had nothing to do with enthusiasm. The racists have gained significant power, and

have been enabled

[BlueStater]

15. Enthusiasm is completely a factor.

Obama excited people, Hillary and Biden did not.

If people were actually thrilled with the idea of Biden being president, he’d be crushing that scumbag right now instead of simply barely leading,

Like it or not, people like to be excited for the candidates they vote for. Just hating their opponents typically isn’t enough to get them to the polling booth.

[onetexan]

16. No it matters that its Joe. He is why the con was afraid of

Running against him.

[still_one]

17. I agree. They knew perfectly well that he would be their greatest challenge
