      I honestly don’t understand what’s different this time. He massively lost the popular vote both other times. Now he’s more popular?

        Not really, not all the votes are in yet, but he actually is polling behind his vote total from last time, 70M to 74M.

        It’s Harris that saw a steep drop-off in support. Biden got 81M votes, Harris so far only has 66M. The final amount will be higher, but there is a clear enthusiasm gap. Almost 1/6 of Biden voters simply didn’t show up. That makes it hard to win.

      You don’t have to be a misogynist to think Kalama was a terrible choice. The DNC could have had Biden drop out earlier, they could have had a primary and pick a different candidate, but no they have to go with a woman who slept her way into politics. Hillary was a better candidate than her and she was fucking bought and paid for by Wall Street.
