That poll putting Trump ahead of Biden in all the major battleground states sure looks terrifying, but there’s never been an election more clouded by the unknown than this one.
A week after Halloween and the scary monsters are still abroad in the land.
Scary polls!
Scary plans!
Boogedy, boogedy!
It was a great weekend for intellectual doomscrolling, to say nothing of galloping paranoia. First, The New York Times comes out with a poll that shows the president is trailing Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. PO1135809 in all the major battleground states.
You come off as smug and dismissive of people’s real concerns. Whether you care to admit it or not, you have to appeal to more people to win the election. You are so concerned that people won’t vote for Biden, but you aren’t concerned enough to want Biden to figure out what appeals to those people and present it to them.
And exactly what else is Biden supposed to present? I mean, I could post the usual list of Biden’s accomplishments during his term if you’d like, but the general concensus from his voters is largely summed up by saying “We don’t care about any of that. You’re too old.”. What is Biden supposed to do about that?
Who else could possibly come up the pike? Sanders, round 3? He’s 82. Warren? She’s 74.
If you don’t want to vote for Biden, that’s your choice. But remember that if you don’t (or if you vote third party), you’ll not only end up with someone who’s just as old anyway, but you’ll end up with someone who’s exponentially worse in every possible way. There’s no other options here. Yeah it sucks, but that’s the situation we’re in. If you think you’re going to be sending a message, understand that the only message you’ll be saying is “Welcome, President Trump!”.
And then let’s see if Trump gives a damn about what appeals to you.
Just more of the same from you. If Trump wins, at least you can be satisfied that everyone but you deserves it. No need for any introspection on your end, or from the Democrat party at all.
Most of the people who support Trump don’t even have real concerns that would lead them to vote for him. They have imaginary concerns that are so asinine that anyone with two functioning neurons can see right through them.
