Joe's brain is pudding and he's still preferable to the condescending, cackling cop.
Quick, pivot back! Have everyone vote for Biden again, it will work this time!
Further, suppose that the disastrous June 27 debate with Trump had not taken place, or that Biden had been firing on all cylinders that night.
God
He was firing on all his (remaining) cylinders.
Kamala was (relatively) more popular when she was performatively distancing herself from Biden. Now that she’s changed tack and moved in lockstep with Biden and his brand of centrist fascism, she’s become unpopular.
The author of this article thinks the only reason Biden wasn’t viable was because of that debate performance. This ignores the fact that Biden was already even less popular than Trump was at this point in his presidency, and well below where LBJ was when he figured he was too unpopular to win reelection and dropped out.
Are they afraid of the polls? Apparently kamala is falling behind trump
Those are betting markets tho, how much more reliable are they than traditional polls that show it's still neck at neck?
I think the betting markets are far more reliable than the traditional polls. I mean traditional polls predicted this back in 2016 https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/
Betting markets were even further off back then. I think the best takeaway here is that no one knows wtf is gonna happen but either way the working class will get screwed
