And losing to a tin-pot fascist like Trump or deSantis, is unthinkable.

(23,454 posts)There's no doubt in my mind that, if Cheeto had succeeded in his coup (besides imposing martial law or something akin to it here at home), he would've:
a) Colluded with Bolsonazi to help him rig last year's Brazilian elections - or, failing that, self-coup his way into a 2nd term;
and b) Refused to aid Ukraine in any way, stopped the rest of NATO from doing so, and (no doubt) shared our satellite/other intelligence with his boss Vlad the Invader.
He would've probably even used the Saudis, and possibly the Isrealis (like Reagan did), to ship arms/tech covertly to Putin.
And with the U.S. under some form of martial law, who would be there to blow the whistle?
MSNBC? Shut down. NPR? Shut down. CNN? Taken over (with Chris Licht's connivance). Progressive internet sites and YouTubes? "Suspended."
So for those reasons, and so much else, we can't take any chances. We're ridin' with Biden.

(5,107 posts)...more potential negatives especially among swing voters who will again be key. While Newsome, Harris and others could well make a good President, there are just some realities that while sad, are in fact in play in a national election. Just as many folks won't vote for someone who wants to improve gun control or support abortion, many also won't vote for anyone from CA, or a woman or a person of color. Some of those issues will likely plague Nikki Haley especially running as a Republican. I hate that these are facts in the 2020s but we have to decide where our moral stands have to bend so we can win elections, hold power and appoint sane judges and mitigate right wing and anti democratic extremism.

(11,217 posts)He seems to be on a consistant continuing upward trend. It's not a fluke. A lot of groundwork has been done, and we are seeing the results of hard work and good policy. The benefits will continue.
Of course there'll be bumps in the road, and unforeseen events. The R's will invent anything they can to throw at and/or trap him. What else is new? Joe will keep moving forward making the best choices available, building on previous efforts and accomplishments. He's the best we have for where we find ourselves.
