Any win is a good win these days!

A president who is very unpopular even in the "honeymoon" period and who right out of the gate does a bunch of unpopular stuff will be a real drag on his party.

And his cultists mostly don't show up if he's not on the ballot.

I'm starting to get 2018 vibes here.

Yup the worse it gets the more Dems will win. They need to look at the data though. He never won 7 swings.

Idk. I believe there was election interference in '16, given that Russia hacked every voter reg database.

But millions of LW voters who voted in 2020 just didn't show this time. I don't think that has anything to do with fraud.

Gaza hurt our under 30 vote and sexism hurt us with non-white men imo.

You are right. Gaza propaganda promoted by Musk and others played an essential role in demobilizing young urban left. I agree Biden made mistakes there but there was no good solution.

He looks like Mr. Rogers

He won because the vote tallies were not infected by Elon’s software. Too late for a hand count. Trump did not win. Voters do not shift this much in a 2.5 month period. Only infected vote tallying software gave Trump the victory. We’ve been attacked.

The article posted shows the Democratic candidate with less votes than the Republican.

The newspaper needs to correct their mistake or the democratic candidate didn’t win?!
