I don't really think these protests had much to do with it.

      Also Biden just isn't prepared at all.

        yeah it coincides with the time when biden stopped hiding from his basement as much, which hurts his numbers.

          I love that it’s the constant flow of Trump horrors that makes Biden’s numbers go up while he’s hibernating but as soon as he’s wheeled out to speak everyone remembers that he’s the other option and his numbers go back down

      Because I think everyone knows it. Picking "Top Kop" in the age of "#ACAB?" That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it works out for the DNC.

        I think it's less that and more the fact that she's a sucking charisma void.

      Did it though? Theres no way someone who would stop supporting Biden for picking Kamala, would also have been someone who would support Biden in the first place.

      Not according to any of the polling, but I feel like you guys really want it to be true. He's gone down one point this week, where polls were taken during an RNC post convention bounce. He's been fairly stable above Trump at least +5 since last goddamn year.

        i think unless there obvious tampering biden will win, but nothing he's done recently (dnc, kamala pick, recent statements and appearences) will help him have a blowout win of 10 points.

          help him have a blowout win of 10 points.

          Oh god fuck no, of course not. But neither will anything Trump does is going to help him either, it's basically gonna be a small but substantial margin.

            imo, popular vote margin will be between 3 and 4%, but some states will be closer than we think, and dems might lose minessota.

            but it also could be a blowout because libs reaaaaaaaaaaaaly hate trump.

              Can I tell you my 2016 theory?

              Keith Ellison's electoral transformation of his district was incredible, and he had more returns per person in his district than anyone else in the state of Minnesota. Hist turnouts are an absolute blowout. The only state Hillary won in her firewall in 2016 was Minnesota, by only 40,000 votes. She owes every single fucking one of them to Keith Ellison.

              I don't think we're going to lose the 5th anytime soon.

                do you think the state is in danger of going red?

                ellison carrying clinton's win is.... very accurate but also depressing.

                  Personally I don't, the whole idea of the Rust Belt going Republican is laughable to me. It's still very urban and what happened more than anything is that people didn't give a fuck about Hillary in 2016.

              People hate Trump but probably not in the right states. I'm betting if Trump wins, it'll be because of the electoral college.

                I have a hard time seeing trump winning the popular vote unless there’s mass election tampering

              I mean polls still matter, the enthusiasm you're missing here is that more people hate Trump than like him.
