    it’s so obvious from the outside that the Biden campaign is a sinking ship, but instead of grabbing a bucket and helping bail the water they take on, everyone around him either believes the water will go away, or that it doesn’t matter because Trump’s ship is sinking faster.

    you’d think top Dems would have to be comatose to not recognise that they’re making mistake after mistake. and yet, this is completely in character for them. anyone in the party who learned something from the past 8 years has been actively suppressed.

    2024 is going to be a shitshow.

        My own anecdotal experience confirms this; I have a large family that is nearly 50/50 legal & paperless USians and those who were allowed to vote supported Clinton over Trump at a rate somewhere around 75/25% while now it’s closer to 50/50% between Biden and Trump.

        I didn’t get it until very recently when my own situation improved dramatically due to Trump’s dumbass actions while he was in office and it came at a time in my life when it was crystal clear that my life’s trajectory was going to take a similar doomed path that my silent, boomer, and genx relatives experienced under the status quo.

        I don’t doubt Biden will win the 2024 election but trump is demonstratably gaining ground. I think it’s because the status quo guarantees that others who share my family’s demographics will continue to suffer more than most and I suspect that trump may have a viable chance if he can stay alive to 2028; remain politically relevant; and be able keep the felony charges at bay until after 2024.
