    If the election was held today and Trump was the republican nominee, Biden would lose. If the election was held today and Haley was the republican nominee, Biden would lose.

    It’s so bizarre to me how out of touch people are with the actual state of the electorate. Joe Biden has consistently had one of the the lowest approval ratings of any president in modern history.

    For comparison, at this point in his presidency Trump, who also had historically low approval ratings, had approval ratings 5% higher than Biden does now.

    Let me say that again. Donald “Bigly” Trump, very stable genius esq., was and continues to be a more popular president than Joe Biden.

    The problem is Biden, and we’re all just sleepwalking into a furnace.

        Yeah, not sure I can add anything to that. But the choice of suitable candidates in either party is also pretty shitty. All of them are filtered for being shit. I honestly am starting to believe the only real democracy would be something where representation are just picked at random from the population. I’m convinced statistically it would be a massive improvement.
