You know, Bertrand Russell might say that in the present moment, you're the one who needs to demonstrate some facts, but I'll oblige.

National polls: Losing, consistently.

Key state polls: Biden is losing, in some states by shocking margins.

The midterms: The polls were dead on. A red wave was predicted by pundits who ignored the polls. This was easier to do because a lot of elections were close, and hundreds of close elections make predicting the overall breakdown in seats very hard, but the specific polls were all historically accurate. Polling the presidential outcome in key states is much less unclear. In all the most important states, he's either losing badly or it's a toss-up, favoring Trump. I don't know of any precedent for a polling error massive enough to explain polls like this without Biden being significantly behind. That could change, but it won't as long as Biden and his enablers keep denying the reality of our dire situation.

The effect of Roe: the polls already capture this. It isn't like people answer polls without factoring in Roe, and then suddenly remember it at the voting booth. Biden IS already getting the benefit of Roe, and the current terrible poll numbers are how he performs WITH this benefit. He's historically unpopular. If he were running in 2016 against a conventional candidate, he'd be getting Carter or Bush numbers. These numbers are WITH his advantages.

Here is a question for you: WHY??? Obama had a tough election because he had a brutal economy. HOW is Biden not a runaway favorite to win? Why in a time of low unemployment, following the passage of highly popular bills, against a reviled opponent is Biden even struggling? Even if you don't think he's losing (again: it's really not subjective, he's objectively losing right now), explain to me why it is even close? What story do we tell ourselves to make sense of the obvious wrongness of all of this? He is doing worse than Hillary in 2016 by a lot. I don't know how anyone can claim that this is not an absolute catastrophe in the making. Expecting Trump to implode is crazy. He just went through a primary, and he mopped the floor with everyone. Everyone already knows that he's a monster. What do folks think there is to learn? He's a historically despised fascist who tried to seize a second term by violence on live TV. If that were going to work, it would have worked by now. That isn't a strategy that is going to work without Biden either reinventing himself or stepping aside.

This should be a five-alarm fire. Please don't get mad at me for trying to sound that alarm. Wake UP and figure out what we're going to do about it (suggestion: demand a new candidate).
