    A tad bit because Biden’s debate performance in the primary were far from stellar imo but I’m not sure that matters. Viewers consistently rated Biden’s debate performances higher than the media/educated circles did. It’s difficult but we kind of have to keep in mind, Biden isn’t messaging towards college graduates. He’s talking to working-class, blue collar workers. They tend to like him, find him relatable.

    What no one is really talking about either, which I think would benefit Biden, is the debates could potentially be virtual. Biden has already participated in virtual debates (vs Sanders) & he did really well in those. Virtual debates seem a lot more organized & less chaotic in terms of candidates talking over each other & what not.

    Nate Silver is such a loser.

    Breaking news- Biden win possible. Also, Trump can win. Stay tuned for my next bold prediction!

    If Dems win back the Senate & White House, they should go get us a 51st state & become absolute legends (dead serious).

    EXT. jesse the mind's sxn80 slugmatch. day

    WPG, 27, is bloody and bruised after numerous rounds of disparaging joe biden who, like eminem, he once adored. the only thing that hurts more is the self-hatred.

    CUT TO: Captain awesome, reinvigorated, glimmering with macho sexual charisma PILE DRIVES wpg onto the mat. wpg limply rolls over. he tries to stand but can't summon the energy

    CA: i call that my 'youth movement'

    He leers at the roaring crowd: RIDIN WITH BIDEN signs are seen fleetingly. John 3:16

    IN THE STANDS - [wpg on again off again GF] stands, watching protectively and w concern. she looks like she's about to say something to the two combatants. but she's pulled back into her seat by JEFF WEISS, 50.

    JEFF (whispering, profound): No. He must do this on his own....

    He clenches his fists, like Arthur, quietly furious.

    i'm saying it's telling that you're claiming the only two groups of democratic or progressive voters who have different policy goals than you are ppl calling biden a r--ist or whining trust fund kids. that's clearly not the case! you have plenty of ground to stand on without creating a funhouse version of reality.
    this is you (willfully????? hmmmmmmmmmmmMMmmmmMMMMMM) misunderstanding me: i'm not saying tens of millions of dem primary voters will sit out in november, i'm just referring to ppl who voted against biden in the primary. i'm accepting of the fact lots of americans found reason to vote for biden, and he won –– why are you so bent on casting those who voted against him in such caricatured terms? look at biden v. sanders (this is just an example, we could swap in house reps with national profiles, etc) in younger brackets of voters, then younger brackets of non-white voters, etc. the future of the party is leaning one way and i'm not sure what any of us gain by falsely claiming this is just something happening in williamsburg.
    this is of course totally speculative but i sincerely believe that if you put everyone on a fool-proof lie detector test, you would find a higher percentage of elected democrats who would prefer a trump presidency to a sanders presidency, than the percentage of sanders primary voters who would prefer a trump presidency to a biden presidency.

    and to be clear i'm not really talking about tara reade here; what about people who don't want to vote for biden because they view his work in the senate as what got their family members incarcerated in america, or killed in the middle east, or etc? a lot of voters move on gut feeling, and i actually think you and i might be splitting hairs on political/moral in this context.
    i think it's fair for me to be skeptical of biden no matter what he says, given that we have decades of his professional political record to go on! why would i find him trustworthy now?
    we are in danger of disappearing down a rabbit hole here but i would like to turn this around on you: why do you scoff at the suggestion (obviously true and verified in 2016) that the dnc was actively working against sanders, yet have no trouble believing there are these sinister, coordinated forces attacking biden?

    and then, on the second half of this sentence: i'm not really sure what you're asking. do i think allegations of sexual misconduct have been cynically deployed in recent years, especially in politics? yes, of course. what are you arguing?

    man i'm not sure why you're so hostile, so blindly loyal to your candidate... you should try caring first and foremost about nominating someone who can beat donald trump, like i do!

    Are republicans still pushing this conspiracy narrative? Enjoy the current victory and lower your blood pressure. You sound like a grumpy
    old man yelling at the wind. Anybody with half a brain could make the same meme on the other side:

    2008: 60 million votes for mccain
    2012: 61 million votes for Romney
    2016: 63 million votes for trump
    2020: 74 million votes for trump

    See an outlier there on the republican side as well? Plausible story: both sides turned up big to vote last election. Trump’s cult continued the trend this election; democrats didn’t. Pretty easy logic to follow. Describing it as anything more than that is juvenile and comes across as GED-level intelligence.

    At the end of the day, it seems like this election just turned out to be a backlash against the current administration over inflation & immigration.

    Trump did better than 2020 basically across the board. He did this with minimal ground game & Harris out spending him. Retrospective voting is a powerful thing.
