I hate to break it to you but these are the same people who think the economy is bad, and that it’s Biden’s fault, and are likely to show up to vote more concerned about Bidens current age and how angry they are at the state of the country than anything Trump did 2016-2020 Part of the benefit of all these trials taking so long to get started, and drag out to completion, is it helps keep it all in the current news and makes it harder to forget. But never underestimate the stupidity and laziness of 80% of the general public. I’ve pointed this out in past, pre-Trump election cycles, but the main flaw of the dem supporters is they r become convinced their ideas/preferences/outlook is the only one that’s right (whether that means morally, critical thinking, etc) lots of people don’t like lots of things about the democrats platform, or about certain candidates. Not recognizing this is why you lost 2016. I’m not really to make any declarations about 2024, Biden hasn’t started campaigning and we don’t even know who he’s going against yet, but the overwhelming reluctance to be rational and grounded in reality when discussing this stuff is part of the reason you all lose races and don’t understand why. I personally have had problems with the Dem platform. The inability of the party to accept gay marriage for a long time was a huge problem for me. I didn't vote Republican or 3rd party because of it though. Why? Because, despite that, the Dem platform wasn't as repugnant as the Moral Majority or whatever flavor of the year platform the GOP sold out too. To me, if the choice is supporting the party of white Christian nationalism or supporting the party of Russia must be held in check, guess which one should get the vote? It's not ****ing rocket science. Edited November 13, 2023 by The Evil Genius 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude goes out of his way to praise Putin, Xi, KJU, and Orban in just about every speech he gives these days. But not enough people seem to know or care. That is disturbing. it doesn’t matter who the other person is. I’m not discussing the republican alternative. I’m discussing the general public. this is the entire point. People get so wrapped up in all this they lose sight over what matters - how the general public behaves. 11 minutes ago, The Evil Genius said: To me, if the choice is supporting the party of white Christian nationalism or supporting the party of Russia must be held in check, guess which one should get the vote? It's not ****ing rocket science. Right. To you. and to most people here that’s my point. You’re so attached to your personal view you can’t zoom out and see how the general public behaves and thinks. case in point, what started our discussion - you can’t figure out why anyone cares about Biden age (to which I would add, it’s not like Trump is really any younger. What’s he 3 year younger? 😂) Edited November 13, 2023 by tshile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m discussing the general public. By the general public you are likely referring to the independents. I am in agreement that inflation and Bidens age will be enough to carry Trump to a 2024 win. But what will get Trump there is easily winning the votes of his own party, also part of the general public. That is maddening. Yes, as a former sitting president, I'd expect Trump to be competitive. But if the field cleared tomorrow to just Nikki, Trump would still beat her by at least 65-35. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wiggles Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 NC is a tough place for Democrats to win. I'll believe it when I see it. Colorado was like that when I first moved there. By the time I left it was well on its way to becoming a blueish state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 So when it is August-November next year, when the 60% or so start to pay attention, you all don't think Biden and Trump come up to be a wash on the age thing? And then Biden hits Trump on the whole "this guy is a criminal... he's trying to stay out of jail." If the GOP really wanted to jump on the age train and ensure it is solid, they should roll with Nikki or Ron. I think Trump is doing himself a disservice by not participating in the GOP debates.... and maybe he will even try to skip the Presidential ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden may be old and have a speech impediment but I haven’t seen anything that suggests he is in mental decline. Not to mention Trump is seemingly a criminal that tried to overthrow the government … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it didn't, and those results coupled with those last Tuesday probably have him thinking that the polls aren't as dire as suggested. He also may have stepped down if the GOP had moved on from Trump. That hasn't happened. To Biden I think this is personal. Both parties have made choices that have been short sighted. Biden's age is a liability for the Dems in '24, and Trumps buffoonery is going to hurt the GOP in '28. Uh, there will not be a election in 28. Trump will do everything to ensure he’s there for life and appoint his successor after he’s gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you combine the state law changes since 2020, with project 2025 and the axios scoop cooked crack posted earlier in this thread … the idea many of us threw out there a while ago that the biggest issue for Trump was he waited to long to do it, and if he gets another shot he won’t make that same mistake… it’s looking more and more correct.

Biden’s popularity being this low isn’t just because of gopers/ maga or independents but among Dems also. It won’t be because that Trump is the opposition candidate ,democracy, abortion, etc…. I know many believe that those things will drive the election but not really at the presidential level. Maybe I’ll be wrong on that but average American isn’t that smart. For the vast majority it will be what they feel about which candidate will make their lives better. Trump is winning that right now. They aren’t looking at the threat of his next term but how will he make my life better than Biden. Americans aren’t that nuanced. Biden has a year to change their minds.

I agree with your comments about the general public, but not this. The last election was pretty clear abortion is driving turnout and results. So I’ll continue to believe it will until shown otherwise. and has been said so many times it’s a dead horse and we just continue to beat it: no one is leading the general election. Biden isn’t campaigning and the GOP primary isn’t over. Those polls don’t mean anything. Stop pretending they do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
