      The difference is Biden unpopularity is due to uncertainty while trumps is due to EXTREME certainty that he’s a piece of garbage

        Biden unpopularity is due to uncertainty

        Which I don’t understand. I’m certain Biden won’t institute project 2025 so the choice should be obvious.

          Uncertainty my ass. Joe Biden is running on an excellent record. He is running on his policies.

          Disclaimer this is very unlikely.

          I have seen enough people grow older and senile and start acting totally out of character. People who I would have called progressive start supporting Trump because of old man brain.

            Just depends what news channel they watch all day I know old people on both sides blindly taking in whatever fox/MSN/CNN tell them. Fox ones are consistently shittier but I’ve heard a few pretty bad takes coming out of the other ones too.

        There’s nothing uncertain about Biden at this point. It’s a matter of being in denial or anger.

      If it weren’t for the political realities of how voting works under first-past-the-post, the progressive wing of the Democratic party could have easily split off into a separate party whose younger leadership and willingness to push for actually-meaningful change could probably have run circles around the Dems at this point.

      …Man, I really wish I could vote for a presidential candidate that I actually believed in, instead of this “vote for the status-quo neoliberal or democracy dies” bullshit.
