"Now new polls show Biden has almost zero GOP support and also faces a dangerous enthusiasm gap among Democratic voters heading into the final weeks of the election."

Leftists FUCKING TOLD YA'LL.

#FuckAroundAndFindOut, indeed.

      The US had always been in the election cycle with the Primaries and Presidential Run announcements RIGHT AFTER AN ELECTION.

      ETA: Tried to parody Orwell. Also while I'm at it, Fuck Orwell. The homophobe.

      Him:

      **Progressives sounding alarms about these facts are periodically depicted as seditious Russian-backed assets nefariously trying to throw the election to Trump. But many of the lefty jeremiads are more like the jeers I heard at Veterans Stadium as a childhood baseball fan. **

      I love him already. I wish the ShitLibs™ would read this and understand that repeating 2016 is doing them no favors.

        Tactically, this kind of vote-shaming never works — it just pisses people off and further alienates them because the arguments are so dishonest.

        I'm diamonds, and I'm not even finished.

          Voters aren’t unreasonable “purists” because they are unhappy that Democrats don’t seem to be offering policies that will prevent communities from being incinerated in climate-intensified wildfires. They aren’t “holier than thou” by expressing dissatisfaction with a Democratic Party still propping up a for-profit health care system that threatens to quickly bankrupt people when they need medical care.

          At a moment of such pain and suffering, attempting to guilt, insult and bully voters into supporting the Democratic cause is moronic and ineffective — and worse, it is ignorant of millions of Americans’ lived reality over the last 12 years. The Democratic electorate has voted over and over and over again for change, and their party’s leaders have returned the favor with bank bailouts, record oil exports during a climate emergency, an abandonment of the labor movement, corporate-written trade policies that crush workers and health care reform that props up insurance profits.

          Who could experience the real-world consequences of that and not feel a wee bit frustrated?

          I might need to go to the doctor.

    The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip on each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.
