Poor one out for all your LGBTQ+ homies in America, they’re about to be hunted for sport.

    Encumbant advantage? In this economic climate, it’s exactly the opposite. People who are feeling increasingly fed up with a world in which they cannot make ends meet vote against the status quo.

    4 years of Trump got people to vote against Trump. 4 years of Biden got people to vote against his VP.

    Biden himself would lost even harder than Kamala did.

        If you actually think you will get hunted down…buy a goddamn gun. Take classes, carry every day. Arm yourself and your friends.

        I’m basing my analysis on the observable trend that incumbents lose when the economy is poor. As well as, y’know, Biden’s abysmal poll numbers after the debate, the reason he dropped out in the first place.

        You’re the one who started insisting incumbent advantage would’ve been a thing here, where’s your crystal ball?

            If you want to “do everything you can to win”, step one is not running the guy who was borderline incoherent in the debates. Staying by that would’ve been shooting yourself in the leg.

            Did we watch the same debate here? There was never any advantage coming out of that one.

                You don’t have to tell me the other guy is terrible. I know he is.

                But did you actually watch the debate? The fact that he came out of that debate arguably looking even worse than Trump - in the eyes of voters, don’t even try to argue this one - was a clear red flag.

                There was never any ‘advantage’ here, and Biden stepped down because even he knew it.
