Yes I agree with that. But orange man bad plus 4 years of perceived failure does not seem like a winning cocktail.

The reality is that the life experience of establishment Dems has led them to believe that Dems get punished whenever theyâre too liberal. Their minds arenât going to be changed until progressives actually win things and theyâre going to work against progressives being in a position to win things because they genuinely believe thatâs whatâs best for winning and maintaining a Democratic majority.
So you agree that Dems will get slaughtered in the next two elections?
I have the winner of the next Pres election as Biden 40%, Trump 20%, other D 10%, other R 30%.
Biden at +800 on betfair which makes it insanely +EV for you (Trump +300, DeSantis +420)
Itâs insane how none of these assholes ever die!
Everyone in charge is so fucking old. 89 year old Diane Feinstein, 87 year old Chuck Grassley, 79 year old Joe Biden, 80+ year old Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn. FUCKING DIE ALREADY
The Democratic Party is so old that if Kamala Harris (who is often seen as part of a ânew generationâ) took over the presidency immediately after the midterms, she would be the 14th oldest to be inaugurated.

A fun fact I found while looking for that info: No president has ever died in May.

A lot of that is due to life expectancy being under 50 in the US in 1900. Blame science.
6 of the first 8 presidents lived until the age of 78.
Yeah shorter life expectancy in the early 1900s was driven quite a bit by infant mortality and the high risk of death while working industrial jobs. The life expectancy for a 40+ year old politician would have been lower than today, but recognizable.
Hereâs an interesting stat for people that are interested in life expectancy - in 1950 life expectancy was about 65 but life expectancy for a 65 year old was about 13. So when life expectancy is 65 (or 60 or 50) that doesnât mean there arenât plenty of elderly people. If you avoided dying as a baby or getting killed on the job, you expected to have a decade+ of retirement.
They probably did. The problem is that it wasnât the same someone.
Itâs easy to forget but the media legit went all in to stop Bernie. It was a complete embarrassment.

Biden could make up for a lot of his shortcomings if heâd start trolling trump directly. Challenge him to a bike race, make fun of his tiny little toy Lear jet, etc

They also went all in to stop Trump, but he still got the nomination and then elected. If the voting democrats are that stupid - waaf.
nah they were addicted to the ratings
