I’m totally not a huge Biden fan, but I wouldn’t say his chances don’t look good… He’s still a better option from a centrist/objective perspective than trump is… Biden can rationally be expected to do what he’s done his entire term, not a whole lot. Trump on the other hand, will do a whole lot, and it’ll be a mixed bag predominately identifiable as chaos, also because that’s what his track record shows.
The reasoning behind the decision voters made in 2020 has not really changed much in either case… It’s the same decision process. The only real question is what demographics show up at the polls. If it’s the same demographics it’s likely to be the same outcome.
The point of the story isn’t that Biden is the only sane choice. The point is that if the election were held today, we would probably be looking at a Donald Trump presidency. This is not being treated as a major problem, which means is just perceived as politics as usual by most Americans. I’m not
I would only disagree that Biden hasn’t accomplished much. He’s had some key wins and his handling of the economy - well how much actual control a president has is debatable, but he at least didn’t fuck up the inflation soft landing. One of his wins pissed the right off so much they fucked up the whole House in a tantrum. We could do a lot worse than Biden, though it’d be great to do better.
Lol… The Biden administration has done well, I was being very specific to Biden himself… He’s not in any way engaged whatsoever.
As far as doing worse, trumps “micromanage via Twitter” philosophy was definitely worse… Not even talking policy or anything, just the leadership style. I’ll take a guy phoning shit in over a micromanager any day of the week. Phoning it in isn’t great, but micromanagers are hell…

The US and the world will not be the same.
