I don’t believe the polls either but the Democrats have been working way too hard to separate themselves from their progressive base. The mythos of centrism and a normally distributted body politic is to blame, but it continues to cost them. There is no center to court. If Democrats lean into progressism, they’ll win elections. It works. If they lean into trying to court Republicans, they’ll continue to fail.

If Biden goes unabashed progressive, unabashed enforcement of the rule of law against insurrectionists, he’ll be fine and ‘centerists’ (rightwing assholes who don’t want to be branded as rightwing assholes) will be forced to come along.nRight now he’s losing jg his base through his weak domestic policies and even weaker foreign policy. You can argue his hands are tied but that’s really not my problem. It’s his problem if he can’t navigate to specific policy goals against resistance. It’s literally what he has been elected to do

If Biden tried to court a cult based around lunatic conspiracy theories that he is a lizard person, well good fucking luck.

So now we’re all sliding together into 2024, knowing it’s (almost certainly) Joe Biden and Kamala Harris vs. Trump alongside some Republican masochist, just the way I wanted it.

This is the punditriest punditry that ever pundited 👅👢 Who but corporate, bootlicking pundits would claim to have wanted this ballot? I thank her for disclosing this up front so I can ignore the rest of her article.

I’m sure THIS year will be the year, right guys? Right???

Too bad. Supreme Court is taking up Trump’s case to get him back on the ballot in Colorado, states’ rights be damned. This is the time for the GOP’s SCOTUS to deliver, and deliver they will. Nothing anyone can do to stop it. The voters will have to decide.

Pure copium
