      Glad we agree that Republicans do in fact hate on their base.

      Democrats won the popular vote in 7 out of 8 of the last presidential elections, despite constant doom and gloom over polls from PUMAs and their equivalents.

      Biden himself was predicted to lose his 2020 primary and suffer a 2022 Red Wave. So I’m not particularly worried about 2024.

          Yet Democrats won in 2020 and 2022 despite you and the other Bernie bros having peaced out.

          I think leftists overestimate how much Democrats rely on them. Leftists are too prone to take their ball and go home when they don’t get everything they want. This is why they don’t form successful long-term coalitions.

              I lived though 2020 and 2022, when you said you didn’t vote for Democrats. So I think they’ve already seen the worst of it. Are you going to double not vote for them this year?

                  First of all, mail in ballots aren’t going away in 2024. In fact, many states expanded their vote-by-mail programs after 2020.

                  Second, Trump isn’t going to be able to campaign normally in 2024 either, due to the criminal trials he will be forced to attend.

                  Finally, there have been multiple special elections since 2020 and Democrats have consistently outperformed their pre-election polls. That’s good news for Democrats, regardless of how you try to spin it.
