Confidence here probably isn’t a great thing
Probably because nationally the Democrats have been beating polls by 9+ points since Roe V. Wade was overturned.
If we can just get through this election then we can start worrying about the next election.
If Biden wins, we’ll never have to worry about either trump or Biden running again.
Are you sure we won’t have to worry about Trump running again? Because I am absolutely not.
I think the implication is he’ll be in prison. Setting aside whether that’s a safe bet or not, I can totally see an 80-something trump making campaign ads from a prison cell. He won’t really have anything better to do at that point.
Edit: typo
@mipadaitu
Trump will never stop running again. Whether he wins or not
There’s only one way to ensure he doesn’t ruin our lives and our country. Only one way to secure our democracy and safety, and I’ll leave that to your imagination. I will say no more.
The problems and divisions that those two men represent aren’t going to go away when they do.
Does anybody know which election wasn’t “the most important election in history”?
Obama 2012. Sure Romney would’ve sucked ass but he probably would’ve just fumbled the whole thing comically instead of actively undoing democracy.
Nah, that one also was the most important one:
Most every campaign cycle, it seems, presidential candidates and political pundits claim this election is the most important one ever. It’s become something of a cliché in American politics. This time, however, they just might be correct. Rarely before in modern times has the divide between the two parties been as stark.

I mean, this is the first where a genuine threat of fascism was on the table. I don’t see things getting pulled back any time soon. I think the orange criminal made too many bad behaviors ok and there’s no going back. We’re gonna crumble, the only question is how soon.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you that things are in a dire state, and this might genuinely be the most important election in history. But I don’t see it ever getting better - as it stands right now, the Republican party will only continue getting crazier and more extreme, until there are no more elections. The system is fundamentally broken, and there needs to be some fundamental fix to off this wild ride.
Ranked Choice Voting with more political parties could be one such fix. It would allow for better representation on both sides (actual leftists on the left, and people on the right who aren’t quite as despicable as is currently the case).
Well, he’s won more elections than I have, but IDK
I’m feeling better than I was at the start of the year, but it’s certainly still no sure thing. A little confidence is a good thing, as long as it doesn’t rot into complacency.
I have a feeling that since he’s now on the campaign trail, he’s rubbing elbows with more voters, doing the kissing babies and shaking hands kind of stuff. Getting out there more is helping him feel more in touch with more of the American people, instead of being more isolated and busy with presidential work.
All this while Trump is stuck in criminal court for the forseeable future.
Hey, don’t cut yourself short.
Biden’s first presidential primary was 1988, it took 32 years before he was able to win one.
Just never give up and have faith society will keep getting shittier till your flaws are no longer deal breakers
They downvote you because of truth? Five minute google for anyone in doubt here are some takes: https://time.com/5636715/biden-1988-presidential-campaign/

Like I feel like I am taking crazy pills when I see such downvote ratio on something so verifiably factual and honest.
ETA I’m being downvoted now and getting complaints about sources despite there being 4 articles and advising a simple google, like just jump to snopes if you refuse to read and just go see the checkmark
Seeing murmurs of bird flu now…just imagine an outbreak of something like bird flu under the “leadership” of dimbulb donnie, JFC.
