1. I tend to be optimistic about our chances.

There is much work to be done.

The message here for 2024 is simple...Do you want the RIGHTS and FREEDOM to decide your own destinies? Or do you want someone else to DECIDE for you which rights and freedoms you should have?

[Hortensis]

2. +1,000 -- Optimistic with work to do.

We're living through another big voter education period, those who lived through the last one this dangerous having died off.

[CrispyQ]

3. It's waaaaaaay too early for choices 1 and 2. -nt

[marble falls]

4. Nothing is "in the bag". But we can make it happen. Stop turning Joe into a joke and bear down.

12. I have never believed anything

Except that Joe will run; no joke on him.

I have had people tell me many things are "in the bag". Sometimes they are, usually not.

One thing I have yet to see discussed is, given the ages of the presumptive nominees, there is a (small) chance neither may be alive come November 5, 2024....

13. There's no guarantee any particular one of us will be alive on any particular date in the future....

... regardless of our age. Seriously: stop that speculation, it is unhealthy.

[Wingus Dingus]

5. Not feeling good about it.

[Ninga]

6. I will vote for the Democrat.

Biden’s HISTORIC accomplishments

Here’s a partial list:

- Passed the Inflation Reduction Act

-Passed the CHIPS Act

-Passed the PACT Act

-Passed the Bipartisan Gun Law

-Al Qaeda leader eliminated

-Gas prices lowered

-Low unemployment

-Confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

-Leading support for Ukraine

-Passed the American Rescue Plan

-Passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

-Electoral Count Act reform

-Passed the Respect for Marriage Act

-Better than expected Midterm results

-Created 12.6 million jobs - More jobs created average per month than any other President in history

-Returned normalcy to the White House

The undeniable fact is that President Biden has had historic achievements in the White House.

14. BINGO!

[Javaman]

7. While I believe we have it covered...

after 2016, i never discount the possibility of fuckery by the right wing.

[GenXer47]

8. the "administrative resource"

If they can cause enough chaos at all level of the process, they'll kick the vote to the House and install whomever.

[Happy Hoosier]

9. Too early to say

My feeling is that the GQP is near its ceiling. Joe being down right now is mostly an artifact of people epxressing an unfocused disatisfaction. I think he has the edge.

Good chance to retake the House. I am not super optimistic about the Senate. Bad map.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Cautiously optimistic for WH and House, less so for the senate.

The biggest obstacle for Biden winning re-election will be the intensely negative attacks on the statistical likelihood that there will be a President Harris before January 2029.

It will be brutal and disgusting, and I hope Dems and the Biden campaign (and VP Harris) are prepared for the nastiness to come, especially on social media. I expect The Republicans and their dark money supporters to make the likelihood of a President Harris (and their “concern” over her fitness for duty) the issue that overshadows everything else- abortion, the economy, immigration, crime, etc.

It will be the lazy option, since there aren’t likely to be debates leading up to the general election (the GOP has pulled out of the debate commission on Trump’s orders).

Hopefully, it will backfire big time, and increase turnout among WOC in particular.

11. Anyone who thinks either that its hopeless or effortless isn't thinking clearly.

Biden has the ability to win. But even if Trump is nominated, this will be a long, close and expensive election to run.

[nevergiveup]

15. If we slide into a recession or inflation reverses course all bets are off

but as of now I am feeling fairly comfortable especially if Trump is the nominee. If the economy or Ukraine collapses then it is "Katy bar the door".
