    Trump won't go for a third term. Republicans and their corporate donors don't want to lose the appearance of democracy. What will happen is trump will choose his successor earlier, and will campaign with him extensively. You'll end up with a party dictatorship, just like what your government did with Mexico and PRI

    Everyone is so focused on Biden's dementia they forget that Trump is also falling apart. Eight more years? In that body? No

    Is he even healthy enough to do that? Trump is 74. By the time he finishes his inevitable second term he’ll be almost 80. The man is very old and he isn’t very healthy.

          There will be rigging, yes. But Trump is kinda on the back foot. I’m gonna sound like a liberal, but 200,000 deaths is 200,000 deaths. Trump doesn’t seem very popular rn. I’m just saying is all. And at the end of the day, the CIA prefers Biden, and so does the military

              A lot of people around here don't want to hear that, but that's what it looks like. And he's not Hillary, so people already like him better.

                Hillary had fans (psychos but fans) that Biden doesnt have though, so even though hes less hated, he loses some point from the Ride Or Dies.

                  This is the consequence of being radicalized: you don't see the shit others do. Biden has a lot of fans.

              That’s the key factor. Biden is awful, but to the public eye, he’s much more likable than Clinton. Then again, all polls are wonky and can change. So I really don’t know. Maybe trump is really popular

    As shitty as a third Trump term would be, term limits are a fuck. They are mainly used to keep anyone vaguely to the left out of office for too long. FDR was too left for them (I know he's not actually left, but he was to them) so they enacted term limits to make sure it never happened again. Also, one of the bullshit attacks on Morales was that he was supposedly over his term limit.

    George W. Bush will run as a Democrat and his series of empty platitudes and moving right in the name of bipartisanship will be labeled as the most progressive platform in the party's history. Corporate media will sing his praises 24/7 which will lead to the dnc forcing everyone else to drop out the day before the first primary. The election will be very close, and there will be controversy over hanging chads in Florida again. The Supreme Court will rule on this and give the election to Trump.
