And Kennedy and Byrd. It's a running shit show of politicians thinking they'll live forever, or never lose an election. When what every one of them needs to be doing from day one, is prepping a successor in the public eye. A simple "thanks for electing me, and keep an eye on this awesome dude that wants my job too."

Stop hosting them and set up a permanent Olympic village in Greece with international funding. Standardized facilities and courses.

Not talk about what I'd do if a fascist government were to start looking for people like me.

Not collapsing democracy and making women into chattel is actually a really good campaign selling point. A hopeful future is great and all, but from what I've seen so far, fear and anger and way more motivating right now.

AOC and the left didn't want Biden either in the first place. It's not like the left is going to go vote Trump.

Probably true, Biden shouldn't have ever started the primary. Just about any Dem could do as well.

That's the drop down menu, it defaults to the overall national model. It's not a poll, it's a projection.

That's not a national poll.

Bidens lead is currently growing. This election has nothing to do with supporting Biden, or what Biden plans to do, or how old Biden is. It's entirely about stopping the orange Mussolini. Biden's odds of winning will keep growing as long as his opponents keep getting more extreme. With any sane republican this election would look like 1984.

Biden can only use his quarter billion in campaign funds for his running mate Kamala. So the only choice is a Biden*/Harris ticket in November. And realistically no matter who anyone would prefer, you're not going to sell a new candidate before November.

We've all in this mess, so now it's time to grab the Go Joe, and clean it up.

Current polls show Trump gained a slight advantage after the disaster of a debate. Most voters don't seem to be supporting Biden, so much as not supporting Trump. So it's still a stupidly close race. Not to mention current polling is based on turnout from 2020 with some educated guesses, that have all undercounted Dem votes in every election since then.

The outlook isn't good, but Trump is further from win than is immediately obvious.
