Feels pretty hopeless. He is losing in every swing state at the moment, and he seems to be running a campaign as bad as Hillary's. I really do not see how he can bounce back. Kamala is by now means a good candidate, and will be a terrible president. A "normie" repub would be winning right now, no? It really just seemed like a great opportunity for him to win and he's just fumbling the bag hard.

Am I wrong? Is there a path to victory for our boy?

I mean that would be funny, but the polls say otherwise. Trump has been running an absolutely god awful campaign.

I am not sure that mods will even see this, but it was a bit and I don't think it should have been taken down. I feel like if I was even more on the nose it would have been taken down for that reason... Am I missing something here?

    he's running scared and in a similar cadence to hilldawg 2016. so he's on the down. the problem for dems is that they're trying their best to do the same thing. they're acting like they've already won and they can go ahead and turn back to neoliberalism as normal, as if brat summer will become brat autumn and the general enthusiasm over biden being out will never dissipate.

      turn back to neoliberalism

      i think the neoliberalism consensus is dead. usa is lurching towards a Keynesian imperialism.

        They will try, but the finance bourgeoisie will eat all of their attempts to reshore/“friendshore” (I fucking hate that word). They will spend billions to do what less than 100k would do in China

          could be, could be that particular interests are intractable. but, fwiw, a trade publication i receive is forecasting that harris will continue biden's regulatory regime (whether or not such a regime succeeds may be a different matter).
