    It’s stunning that each party managed to find a candidate that could lose against the other.

      If the election was today, Biden would lose. Imagine if Trump wasn’t the nominee for November, the GOP would win the presidency.

      Edit: it’s just reality according to the current polling.

            There it is again.

            The disconnect that exists is that people don’t see the good things he does. You know, green energy, chips act, unions, drug price controls, student debt relief, telling them to look at marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure building. It just goes on and on. You’re doing mental gymnastics to say B-B-Biden bad! Ciao.

                Lol you all caps shouted “YES” agreeing to what I said and literally said “Biden is bad”.

                Bare minimum huh? Back to your mental gymnastics. Biden’s doing fucking great.

                You want more? He doesn’t even have control of the house of representatives. If you want more give him and Dems consistent and resounding victories.

                I think this is where I inform you that Dems have had control of all three (house, Senate, and presidency) for a whooping 4 years of the last 24 years. If you include Bill Clinton, then it’s 6 of the last 32 years. You want more progress? Give Dems consistent and resounding victories. Not a measly half term every second president.

                    While it’s obviously not good to have a low approval rating, it also doesn’t tell you whether or not a person will vote for him. I don’t approve of him, but will still vote for him because there’s no other viable non-fascist alternative.

      Its not that stunning. In fact, its more common than you’d guess.

      Only Ford could lose to Carter. Only Dukakis could lose to Bush. Only Hillary could lose to Trump. Hindsight 20/20. Foresight blind as a fucking bat.
