50 million people watched Biden shit the bed. He’s lost the swing voters, and he was already behind.

They also watched Trump do his normal stupid shit. I keep hearing "Bidens going to lose" "he is behind" online. But everyone I talk to in person is still voting as anticipated. Swings don't want to see Trump, Democrats wish there was a better option than Biden but will vote for him and the Republicans will still back Trump.

You're assuming everyone votes. Biden is lowering turnout for himself and increasing voter apathy.

Perhaps you would be correct if the US had a mandatory voting law, but it doesn't, and as such vibes very much indicate the way elections swing when it comes to the average voter.
