I thought he had it in the bag after the debate but without an even older, more senile opponent he's really running on fumes
It cannot be overstated enough that the only reason Trump ever won in the first place was that the Democrats are so terrible that even a slimy car salesman could beat them.
It says a lot that someone as mid as Kamala is enough to turn it around for them.
Trump would have had a second term already if there hadn't literally been an apocalyptic globe spanning plague
That was a really powerful revealing moment for anyone who didn’t already understand that democrats don’t solve crises, they merely weaponize the spectacle of the crisis to promote their level headed managerial aesthetic. If you have an attention span, aren’t completely in denial and care about actually solving the crisis you discover very quickly that they wield their newly earned power as little as possible against the crisis.
Cycle's not over yet. Never, ever underestimate Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. There's still plenty of time for them to fuck this up.
I'm still convinced they're fucked.
