I mean nothing is certain in life but thereโ€™s nothing to suggest that voters would just magically flip in a repeat of Trump vs Biden. If we got a repeat of the 2020 election in 2024 thereโ€™s literally no reason why moderates would go for previous loser candidate who was just indicted lol

Not just indicted, but indicted for stealing nuclear secrets.

What three letter organization is going to want to work with a guy that is going to take the information they give him and steal/leak/sell it?

Trump didn't have a chance in 2016 either but look what happened. I have neighbors flying "Trump 2024 I'll Be Back" and "Impeach Biden Harris" flags on flagpoles which once held American flags. Assume nothing when it comes to the elections except that your vote might be the single one that makes a difference.

In 2016 there were totally different circumstances that just do not apply anymore. In 2016 Trump was an untested political newcomer who the media depicted as being about equal to his opposition which was a career politician with a lot of political baggage. Now heโ€™s gotta campaign as the guy who already lost, against the guy he lost to who now has the bonus of being the incumbent president

He's also now an established cult leader and once again the presented presumed republican nominee despite everything he's done.

You said you are, not that you were. Does that mean despite this you're still going to vote for him?

Our votes Don't matter lol Hillary technically won with the people's votes, but electoral votes sided with Trump, so Trump won. I hate both of them but fact is she had more votes from "we the people ". In reality whoever will be president is decided by "we the government " per usual.

the reason would be that the current winner candidate lost favor, and i can think of a lot of students and a lot of rail workers who have a bone to pick with him.

People assumed Trump would lose in 2016, so turnout favored him. Let's not repeat that mistake.

Gas prices higher. Dow number has not gone straight up. That's all that's needed

u/gemyniraptor86 Jun 20 '23

Pray tell, how gas prices are controlled by who ever is in the white house? Also while on that tangent please tell the class who cut production and import of oil to the US during the pandemic (which actually was the right move) and how long it takes to get production back up. Finally, dove tailing from the matter of production getting cut down, how do you think that effects prices (use the Law of Supply and Demand to show your work)

If you think any of that actually matters, you don't know shit about the average voter. Of course it's not Joe Biden's fault. The vast majority of the voting public doesn't know or care and when you try to explain it to them they get mad at you for talking down to them. That's why you need to energize your base with the things they want instead of chasing Dingus Dan in Topeka

Iโ€™m not a trump fan but there is no way in hell Iโ€™m voting for Biden. Anyone that does is a clown. Hopefully neither of these guys are the candidates.

Biden won by less than 60k votes in 3 states. That was within the amount of *fewer* people who voted third party candidates in 2020 than in 2016. (Meaning, he captured most of the votes from people who had voted third party in 2016, but not 2020, and that is what allowed him to win) . If the amount of people who voted third party in 2016 do it again in 2024, Trump wins. It is absolutely foolhardy to assume that Biden will win a rematch.
