It could cost him the 2024 election.,"I remember thinking after Bush 2, how anybody could go back to the Republican well after decimating a record surplus, getting us involved in the second most disastrous military conflict in our history, and leading to the biggest economic collapse since The Depression. | |

It could cost him the 2024 election.,"Apparently the Republican Party saw what happened in 2020 and then again at the mid terms and went “what a great strategy that was, we had so much success with voters we desperately need like independents, moderates, and undecided voters running absolutely terrible and toxic candidates, let’s run it back!” | |

| He lost in 2020 after his abysmal presidency and now he's facing 91 felonies across 4 indictments. He hasn't gained any new supporters, in fact hundreds of thousands of them died thanks to his spread of misinformation and handling of the pandemic. | |

It could cost him the 2024 election.,"I agree, I think there are people that aren't happy with Biden, for various reasons, and are hoping for another option. That's why his approval ratings are low.

But I already see it in younger generations and they haven’t even gotten a dose of impending mortality to boost the hate and fear yet.

| kj6mceq,19dml2v,Trump is bleeding moderate support. It could cost him the 2024 election.,"I read history, and this entire mess reminds me a lot about Andrew Jackson’s presidency. | |
| The culture and etiquette during his presidency also hit rock bottom, with drunken parties, buying of votes, and even fistfights happening even in congress. I know Tramp indolises the man, but one just had to look at the number of crisises, scandals and overall chaos during his presidency, make the comparison to Tramp, and get people got run against him. | |
| The is a reason why Jackson is sometimes considered as one of the worst presidents in the history of US, and Tramp seems to be trying to be even worse.

| kj7yh5g,19dml2v,Trump is bleeding moderate support. It could cost him the 2024 election.,"100% | |
| I am fairly politically moderate. If anything I see myself as right of center. I did not vote for Trump before and after seeing what he was really about I cannot IMAGINE voting for him now. In fact, I can't even condone voting a 3rd party (which I am usually very positive on) because he's so goddamn dangerous. | |
| Under ""normal"" circumstances I see voting 3rd party as a valuable option. They won't win, but if one of the big 2 loses because too many people voted the ""more aligned 3rd party"" (For Ex. Libertarian for Republicans or Green for Democrats) then you've shown them what you're looking for to earn your vote next time. Votes shouldn't always be considered successful because ""your side won"". They should be seen as one of the very rare opportunities to make your voice heard. They can affect change. | |
| But right now we're up against someone who holds our constitution in complete contempt. There have always been bastards elected to the White House, but by and large even the biggest assholes believed in the constitution and avoiding dictatorship. Trump represents a fundamental challenge to our entire governing foundation and at that point my desire to make my voice heard isn't important anymore.",156,2024-01-23 17:24:32 | |

| Not only has it not gone away...they're getting bolder. They're literally trying (and succeeding) to erase slavery from the history books. And they do this while whining about ""erasing history"" by taking down some shitty statues that were put up decades after the war was over. | |

I want the best people in office, who can incrementally fix the big issues, defend our values, and not listen to the fanatical lunacy emanating from the far right and far left wings of our political universe. | |

| I believe in electing the best person for the job. | |
| And that means I will never vote Republican ever again. The only way to protect our nation, our constitution, and our population from the whims of the oligarchy and fundamentalists is now to vote blue no matter who. | |
| I've never seen such disgusting moral cowardice as comes from Republicans. Straight up and down, from the lowest backwater red state voter all the way up on high to every single presidential candidate running in this primary. The era of John McCain and Mitt Romney is over.

| While I'm voting no matter what and I advocate for people to do the same, I personally don't think this election is as close as the polling might make it out to be. Every time I see a poll that shows the race being ""close"" between Trump and Biden, or even having Trump ahead, when I look at the methodology, it's always oversampled Republican likely voters. Like, if you **oversample** the demographic that *should* be voting Trump while ignoring the voting bloc that is overwhelmingly voting Biden, and then Trump is only up by a point?

The list goes on. | |
| His opponents need to go low this election and hit him where it hurts early with negative ads and then just keep them coming. If this really is an election to preserve democracy and the union, no more kiddy gloves. Punch where it hurts and keep on doing it. | |
