I know that this far out polls don't really matter, but all the 538 polls in the last month except for one indicate Trump beating Biden, sometimes handily.

Student loan repayments haven't even started again yet.

Libs are going to be obsessing over Trump's legal troubles and expect that to save them, meanwhile completely ignoring all the other shit going on and how obviously unpopular their blue maga guy Biden is.

Don't forget to vote

      I don't understand how these people can be so obtuse. Ignore the tent cities springing up everywhere, if you look at this chart, this specific economic indicator is actually up!

        "This specific economic indicator which is only positively affecting the 10% richest people in the country is up! You should feel happy for them, and vote for us to keep this going!"

      “I don’t know why you’re complaining,” I say to my fellow scavenger as I pull a shabby jacket off a frozen corpse in the alley behind an abandoned Applebee’s, “the economy is doing great!”

        Remember when Biden signed a bill that Cut Child Poverty In Half

        And then Doubled Child Poverty a year latter when the dems failed to renew it?

    Student loan repayments haven't even started again yet.

    How can MSNBC(-like) talking heads even spin that? I guess they'll claim young people aren't a big voting block and - let's be real so here's some tough love - they need to vote for the best interests of their country.

    Maybe Biden should put out a video where he says "Hello, fellow young people - I wanna talk to you about Bidenomics!..."

      It's funny because the youngster millennials with student loans are almost in their 40s now.

        "I have no hope of owning a house or having children because the economy is unlivable even though I make about what my dad does because he pays 1/3 what I do in rent towards his mortgage. And even if I had a kid, I'd be tempted to have them doing rifle drills in the woods so they have a better shot at surviving the water wars."

        And then they're like, "millennials are too selfish to reproduce!" No, you just raised us to be realistic and responsible with money and we see 1-2 "once in a lifetime" financial crashes every 10 years.

    It makes sense. Biden only won because of Covid, and the Dems have decided that that's over.

    C'mon democrats, it's time to talk The Rock into running as a democrat. Let's quit the bullshit and start running almost exclusively pro-wrestlers as candidates.

      That means there's a 1% chance they both croak. I'd forgotten what hope feels like.

        acshually with my guesstimate of ghoul lifespan (100 years) for both to croak it would be 0.05*0.05, so like 1 in 400. sadness-abysmal

        *But then i forgot to add cia angle into the mix

    "This is the most important election in your lifetime!", again. Which isn't wrong, but not in the way liberals think it is.

    Biden had years to smooch up on the working class and did instead what his track record and position in society urged him to. I.e. block railway strikes. Continue student debt payments. Not extend the supreme court to secure a Green New Deal (at least).

    This means that the DNC and party are responsible (of course like the GOP) for putting rights, bodies and thus material/social conditions/relations of marginalized at risk. Again.

    One thing I learned from 2020 is that polls are completely reliable and firmly rooted in reality very-smart

      Honestly the 2020 chapos were wild.

      I still listen to "God could dad drive a car" (428 or something) with the Biden car antics and it's so great to hear Felix NAIL the imperial decline we've all experienced ever since.

      I will never have any idea why conservatives feel the right to even have a bad day in the past 40 years.

      They've been having a golden age since Raegan first put his ghoulish talons in the Oval Office and Democrats have been too scared to ever go to the left of him ever since on the rare occasions they have any power at all.

      I can't blame liberals for having a "fuck the incumbent" sentiment at this point.

    Project 2025

    One of the most powerful countries on earth is inevitably a fascist hellscape, and its corpos are ready to press the fascism button

    The people are generally okay with it, or super enthusiastic about it

    Be stuck in said shithole country.

    God is either a comedian, or punishing me for some twisted crime I did in a past life.

    Did they extend out the repayment start date? I thought they started back in August. We haven’t paid them of course lol

      I think for like a year non-payment won't impact your credit rating but here's the deal Jackbiden-rember

      Interest will accrue anyway so if you can't or won't pay you're even more fucked in the long run

    Nikki Haley I think beats Biden by the widest margin of any Republican candidate. I'd say DeSantis is getting more attention but she could be a dark horse.

      That’s because she is the most like Biden. She could win back the suburb centrists who were alienated by Trump’s lack of decorum
