Political Discussion

This is a bold level of optimistic delusion all of us should strive for. Thanks for being that guy @TenderLovingKiller®
It might be a bit optimistic but It’s hardly delusional. There are only two choices, both are terrible and nothing over the past month has really changed that. I was of the opinion prior to everything that Trump is a historically terrible candidate and his election in 2016 happened because of a series of very stupid mistakes made by his opponent. I do not think Trump has the ability to be elected again. Demographics shifts alone have decreased his base a significant amount over the past 8 years and his followers embrace of anti-vax conspiracy has wiped out even more.

I think Biden’s Debate performance/decline has made reelection a bid more difficult but hardly insurmountable.

We, understandably, fret and worry about the potential disaster on the horizon but it’s far more likely that Biden wins reelection and this country continues it slow decent than Trump winning and blowing the whole thing up. As much as Americans hate how things are going they hate uncertainty even more.

2020: Cautious optimism, but I felt Biden still had the edge
2024: Cautious optimism has turned to involuntary pessimism, but I think Biden still has the edge. He's going to need to perform out of his mind in the September debate though.

Hillary never had a chance.

2016: I thought Trump had no chance. He had his supporters but I didn’t think the country would go there. Was absolutely expecting the boring candidate to win.

2020: I had no faith in the country or in Biden. Thought Biden would lose for a lot of the same reason Clinton lost in 2016.

2024: Full doomer mode now, have no faith in this country and think we will get absolutely destroyed in November.

Historically I’ve been awful at predicting these elections so hoping I’m going to be wrong again here lol
