Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record. Assuming Trump is the Republican nominee, 2024 will not be a normal reelection cycle for three reasons.
If the DNC hadn’t shoved Hillary down our throats, Bernie would have certainly won the primary. But on policy the best candidate would have been Andrew Yang.
The DNC would rather lose elections than give us non-establishment politicians.
Oh yes how the DNC shoved Hillary down our votes by mind controlling millions of so called Bernie supporters to not even turn out for him and then throw a tantrum that other voters didn’t vote for him on their behalf.
I was under the impression that Bernie was too left even for a lot of Democrat voters, so winning the elections could’ve been a tough one
And just like that, the party’s voters aren’t expected to fall in line for a candidate they don’t want in order to stop Trump.
Not like expecting them to fall in line would’ve done anything if you’re losing a hefty chunk of the moderates. That’s what seems to decide American elections, who can claw more of the middle ground undecided voters to their side.
So “vote blue no matter who” was a crock of fucking bullshit put forth by hypocrites who never intend to follow their own advice if a candidate isn’t their very first choice.
I wouldn’t think it’s the moderates or undecided people that are saying that.
Then you’re either not paying any attention whatsoever, or you’re gaslighting me. Either way, there is no reason to continue this conversation.
Why would those who are closest to switching or especially those who are undecided be hardcore about always voting Democrats…?
