Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record. Assuming Trump is the Republican nominee, 2024 will not be a normal reelection cycle for three reasons.
Jesus, aren’t you a nice person to chat with.
Using that pic again, are you talking about the ones I highlighted here or thereabouts?
Because then you’ve misunderstood, I’m talking about these people
They’re not the same group. The original context was people who are in the middle of the political spectrum in the US
“Not like expecting them to fall in line would’ve done anything if you’re losing a hefty chunk of the moderates. That’s what seems to decide American elections, who can claw more of the middle ground undecided voters to their side.”
No I think I understand what happened here. You thought I meant Democratic party middle ground, even though I meant the whole political field in the US. Democratic party middle ground wouldn’t be likely to jump ship, yeah. I’d imagine they’d be the ones happiest with the party.
You misunderstood and got mad at me lol.
They did in 2008.
You mischaracterized what I was saying and never stopped gaslighting.
What do you mean? 2008 United States presidential election? Didn’t Obama have a hefty win in that?
From that photo, to me, it looks like they solidly got their own party behind them and plenty of the independents (which, like I said, I feel is one important aspect in winning).
I was talking about how in elections in the US, it’s important to win the middle ground and undecided voters. You started talking about how that means “vote blue no matter who” were hypocrites, even though we were thinking of two different groups. Misunderstanding, those happen, it’s not a huge deal. It’s not gaslighting to resolve a misunderstanding lol.
I addressed this already. Clinton supporters literally formed a pac to fundraise for McCain/Palin when they didn’t get their first choice in the primaries. I’m glad they failed, but their failure isn’t from lack of trying.
It wasn’t a misunderstanding. You repeatedly pretended I was talking about a group that I made perfectly clear I wasn’t talking about, and now you’re doing the same thing about the Clinton supporters who jumped ship in 2008.
This conversation has reached its conclusion. Go gaslight someone else.
Pretty interesting. There’s even a Wiki article I didn’t find before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_and_liberal_support_for_John_McCain_in_2008
I think this was the misunderstanding. We were talking about two different groups here. Unless it was purposeful on your part. But either way, it was very confusing.
You really like that term. That and “grifter” have had such an inflation.
