Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I was taking about how Clinton beat Bernie in the primaries, I forgot that Biden beat him too.
Thanks for the reminder.
Yes they did. Sure worked out well when Clinton won the primary. Now we get to see the consequences of choosing Biden/Harris. I really hope Trump is disqualified, cause it's looking like it will be a worse trounce than 2016.
You seem to be missing 2020 in your analysis.
I did speak to 2020 and the myth of Biden's special electability status. You, on the other hand, seem to be missing analysis in your analysis. All you have done is make bald assertions and snide digs, while I have offered explanations and at least some minimal evidence.
If there are specifics you want further support on, I am happy to do the legwork, but that doesn't seem to be something you are interested in. The polling isn't that hard to find, but I don't see any reason to bother.
Polling is really hit and miss these days.
Biden will have to work for it but he’ll win.
I was referring to polls from back in 2020, including exit polls. I agree that polls are generally pretty useless this far out, but current polls are so bad that they should at least be causing some concern.
Biden calling a panicked press conference to insist he doesn't have memory lapses, then having memory lapses in the conference is disconcerting. I do think Trump will have a conviction or two by election time, which would help. Unfortunately, Democrats are amazing in their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - see Fani Willis.
