…that he’s the Republican candidate again firmly underlines our collective idiocy.

HRC pop vote +3 million
JRB pop vote +7 million
If this trend continues with Dems having over performed from the midterms forward…JRB pop vote will certainly be more than+7 million
And, yes I understand the EC

...of wising up to, or remembering how bad Trump was and still is. Many are stupidly blaming Biden for inflation while falsely remembering the economy under Trump as great, somehow forgetting or discounting the economic disaster during the start of COVID.

Further, too many Americans are stupidly unreachable about Trump being a threat to democracy, automatically dismissing such talk as crazy talk or partisan BS, not willing or able to accept that democracy isn't guaranteed.

I've developed a very low opinion of the wit and wisdom of the American electorate as a whole.

I see it as generally stupid and shallow these days. Even when it bumbles into a good choice, the margins are way too narrow to be excused.

pick up voters, particularly in the swing states. I haven't seen any evidence that he has. If anything, he has lost at least a little bit of support from voters who had previously voted for him. And I can't imagine that Biden will have lost enough voters to really make a difference, especially given the alternative. If the legacy media was so confident of a win for tsf, they wouldn't be trying so hard to sink Biden's chances. I think the media is creating the illusion that the candidates are running neck and neck, when the reality is that Biden is likely running a bit further ahead than he is given credit for. Gawd, I sure hope I'm not mistaken.

Anyone remember the red wave prediction for the midterms? The gqp got trounced! And, the Dems have been over performing in elections up and down the ballot since…a trend? Absolutely

But he will try to win through dishonest manipulations throughout the process.

Guaranteed that he will proclaim himself the winner.

Up to us to see that he does not get away with it.
