    Nah it's just the seesaw effect. There are very few times when a presidential candidate from the incumbent party does better than their predecessor.

      That sounds like something losers say, ngl. Any of these seesaw candidates ever try doing something good?

        I mean maybe they're doomed to seesaw because of the bourgeois two-winged uniparty, but accumulated outrage is a strong driver.

    The last time an incumbent president got a bigger fraction of the vote
    was in 1984
