jkndj8e,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"Including 2024, The Dems have only lost the popular vote in two of the last 10 Presidential elections.  In 1988, Bush was effectively running with incumbency advantage from the Reagan White House.  In 2004, Bush II won re-election in the nationalist furor after 9/11.

The median voter in America has *never* seen the Republicans win the popular vote without already being in control of the White House to use it as a free advertising platform.  So the concern isn't really whether or not Biden is ""up in the polls.""  That's almost a given.  The question is whether he'll win the election.

The electoral college is a major problem.

Trump is going to declare victory on election night no matter what.  40% of the country will believe him.

States have massively stepped up voter suppression strategies so many eligible voters who support Biden won't wind up casting votes.

Local officials are probably going to interfere with counting.  Conspiracy theories about illegitimacy will be generated during the count.  Some voters who vote for Biden may have their votes challenged disproportionately.  

Republicans have worked to shut down accurately counting legitimate votes in the past because we supposedly ""needed an answer"" more than we needed a correct answer.  See Roger Stone's ""Brooks Brothers Riot"" in Florida and Bush v. Gore. in 2000.  (Nothing in the Constitution demands an answer until January.  Historically, the nation survived not knowing until months after election day.)

The TX legislature want the attorney general to be able to just appoint electors.  Other states are interested in this sort of strategy to just bypass election results completely.

So ignore the polls.  Vote like victory depends on a hell of a lot more than just being up a few points in some polls.",738,2023-05-18 15:51:22

jknpy90,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"It's absolutely unbelievable. Not very many years ago, I would have thought it unthinkable that a US president would try to blatantly overthrow democracy and incite a riot on the Capitol.. and still have the support of half the country and a major political party. It's absolutely unreal.

I remember in the 2000s there was a lot of talk about patriotism and what it means to be an American and ""free"". It gave me the false impression that at the end of the day, most Americans understood the basic principles of democracy and held them sacred.

I now realize that all of that patriotism was at best platitudes that never sunk in for many, and at worst nationalistic propaganda that directly led to today's rise on fascism.

A huge percentage of the population apparently don't understand what freedom and democracy actually is. Because even though Trump is constantly lying, anyone who has ever reflected on democracy and truly believes in it should be able to see straight through him in two seconds. His intentions are utterly transparent. He wants as much power as possible. Loyalty to him is all that matters. He doesn't care if he loses, he'll just declare victory anyway. The evidence is utterly overwhelming, even if you can't see through his lies on instinct alone. He's everything we've been warned about. He wants to be king of America, and it's  i n s a n e l y  obvious.

jko7hhj,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"The current political landscape really started in January 1993, when Democrats controlled both houses and the Presidency.

I vividly remember my father, a Republican, saying that it was over for the Republicans. We would never again have a Republican president. This sentiment was widely felt among conservatives, and it scared them to death. 

Newt Gingrich, then the minority whip, criticized his party's former speaker and other moderates for being too civil. Gingrich spearheaded the [1990 federal government shutdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_United_States_federal_government_shutdown), and successfully led a revolt within the party against a budget that had been supported by both parties.

This trend of holding your own party hostage, yanking them to the extremes of your political ideology, and doing whatever is necessary to win, putting party over country, started with him. 

Before they hated Obama, they *really* hated the Clintons. The whole Monica Lewinsky thing came about because they couldn't get their conspiracy theories about the Whitewater deal to stick. The whole ""Hilary's emails"" thing came about because they couldn't get Benghazi to stick, despite holding 10 separate investigations into it.

They learned that investigations don't have to make sense. You just need to keep inventing reasons to have them, the media will cover them, and occasionally they'll lead to something you can use. 99% of the public will never look for, or care about, the facts.",77,2023-05-18 18:59:19
jknslw2,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"Obama is definitely part of it, but the situation we are in is so complex.

Right wing propaganda is a monster that preys on people by whipping them into a frenzy and amplifying biases and prejudice. The truth has literally nothing to do with any of it. It's whatever causes an emotional reaction, up to and including gaslighting by saying it's the others who are lying. This all comes from the southern strategy, a strategy based on pandering to bigots.

A lot of it also comes down to religious fundamentalists who have become increasingly more politically organized. Their goal is of course the Christian version of Sharia Law, so democracy and the real principles of America don't actually matter to them and never have. But their propaganda perverts American ideas of freedom, which further poisons the well and confuses voters. And make no mistake, there is a huge amount of religious fundamentalists and people adjacent to religious fundamentalism in America. They are a significant portion of the population and hold significant sway.

And then of course there's the corporations, which have a massive interest in propagating ideas of ""small government"" so they don't have to pay their fair share. What's interesting about this one is that it has society wide ripple effects. Less investment in welfare and education means people are more desperate and less educated.

jkogq2q,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"Uh, no. That's not how the Electoral College works. While that *could* happen (which is disgusting on its own), what actually happened was this:

The Electoral College is made up of ceremonial appointees who are tasked with voting according to the laws of the states they are from. In all but two cases (Nebraska and Maine), the law of the state is that 100% of the Electoral College votes go to whoever received the most votes in that state. It doesn't matter what the margin is - winning the state by 1 vote is exactly the same as winning the state by 3 million votes.

Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million votes, largely off of impressive margins in hugely populous blue states like CA and NY. However, most of those votes, from the perspective of the Electoral College, were wasted. It doesn't matter what your margin of victory is on California's 55 EC votes - you don't get more than 55 votes for winning CA harder.

So Trump took big losses in populous states, and barely squeaked out wins in certain key states. If around 80,000 of the right people had voted differently - less than 0.06% of the overall electorate - we never would have had Trump.

The EC is a shitty system, but it wasn't paid off. By the rules of the game he won it legitimately. That he won is evidence of its terrible design, not corruption.",23,2023-05-18 19:57:47

jknqjww,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"If he, or DeSantis, or any other GOP nut job is elected, no way it’s just four years. 

Just like with what they are doing in red states, they will strip rights of those that oppose and then change the laws to retain power. The conversations that were behind closed doors before are now out in the open, and they are embracing it and putting down roots of fascist autocracy. Just this week DeSantis has essentially outlawed being trans; anyone seeking gender affirming care, whether it be children OR adults, must be approved a board of appointees. Appointed by him. Tampa Pride was canceled because they can’t do a parade with folks in drag, because *that’s* now illegal, too.

We are about to fall off the cliff into the abyss of fascism. This is election is it. We have to show that this is unacceptable and fix everything that’s been fucked. Resolve the SCOTUS justice issues, remove treasonous government employees, establish federal voting protections, etc etc. This is where the country’s ultimate fate is decided.",18,2023-05-18 17:12:10

jkpjr1q,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"What’s missing with quotes like this is context and subsequent actions. In Hitler’s case, the context and susequent action was to suggest that (among other things) Jews were to blame for society’s problems, and the ‘enlightened’ study of history was meant to guide the learner to this belief, as if his genocidal ambitions were a natural and reasonable outcome from learning the ‘correct’ historical perspective. Speaking out against an imperfect status quo is not the same thing as speaking out against toxic, cruel or oppressive ideologies, but fascists will co-op the method because it’s wildly inspiring and validating to some people, especially if they already have internalized prejudice, irrational hatred and bigotry holding the door open for someone to offer a new ‘final solution.’",17,2023-05-19 00:32:42
jkng62h,13l1lbk,Joe Biden up 7 points against Donald Trump in 2024 election,"I read an article after the midterms about why the polls were off. Pollsters that they interviewed said that getting an accurate sampling gets harder every year, and how they're now relying heavily on past trends. At this point, they're basically guessing. 

And the same logic of using past trends that was used in the midterms to predict that Republicans would win big could be in play here, ie Biden will win because he's the incumbent and beat Trump already.

That means no one should ever trust polls at this point. Getting complacent because of them could easily lead to a repeat of 2016.",16,2023-05-18 16:07:47
