The Coming Biden Blowout | Republicans thought about running without Trump in 2024—but lost their nerve. They’re heading for electoral disaster again.

People need to stay worried, stay alert, and show up to vote. Not just for the presidential election. Anyone taking the time to read posts here has paid attention to what Democrats have wrought over the past few years whenever they've had power.

Folks - never vote Democrat, never vote in a way that indirectly benefits Democrats. The strawmen about what conservatives might do barely measure up to what the Democrats have done.

Turn out for the midterms, turn out for your piss ant local elections. If you have the time, get involved with assisting a campaign you favor. Obstruct Democrat power grabs at every opportunity. It's the only path forward - we've been shown the alternative.

Fuck your partisan bullshit.

Eat the rich.

But that's the thing, Trump, despite being a terrible person and president, was genuinely pretty popular with his voter base. They will more than likely come out to vote, despite his popularity declining a bit. However, Biden, while being a relatively sane, levelheaded president, is not really popular. His VP isn't particularly liked (bad pr or not, that is an issue) and a lot of his voter support seems to be, "well, at least he isn't Trump. " I find that incredibly scary, as it means in my mind that Biden being re-elected isn't such a slam dunk as a lot of the DNC seems to project.

That's the problem now, though. These asshats all think they are celebrities.

That's what they do best! And I say that as a lifelong Dems. They are just so god awful at messaging and marketing their ideas.

And that's the key. Literally the only people left of center who aren't voting for him have to twist themselves into an ideological pretzel to avoid it, and they are mad that the GOP makes the decision so obvious.

You can tell they're pissed off that when a guy in a white hood runs against a pro-labor railfan they don't get the chance to be deliberative and critical about their decision to vote. They hate that the decision tree converges on voting for him because it's either outright support for his policies or critical support against fascists. So they come up with these wild reasons not to vote for him and spend inordinate amounts of time denying that they supported outcomes that favor Republicans on the state and local level as a consequence of their defection.

Yeah, but there is a factor to turnout of how much the candidate at the top of the ticket is activating voters. And with articles like this one, saying “trump will surely lose,” that excitability factor only increases in importance.
