It's more the lopsidedness than the numbers themselves that concerns me. It would only take an extraordinarily small difference to hand the election to Trump with how close it was last time and is now. But I'll try to use the optimism from this thread to smother my cynicism for now.

For now at least, polls show about 25% of Democrats would vote for him over Biden vs 13% of Republicans. This is bad.

District court decisions in Texas are not binding in South Carolina. They're not even binding in their own district.

Top of page 2:

Generally, district court opinions are not binding on other district courts or on courts of
appeals. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has made it clear, “A single district court
decision . . . has little precedential effect[, and i]t is not binding on . . . other district judges in the
same district.” Other circuits agree

I didn't watch, but this was taped, meaning they could add context retrospectively.

Trump repeatedly lied that Democrats advocate for post-birth abortion and abortions up to “five, six, seven, eight, nine months."

Did the host say "that is a lie?" Or did they at least put up text that said "This is false, post-birth abortion already has a clearer definition of 'murder' which is not a Democratic party platform."

I'm asking in good faith, how would Sanders have done it? He'd have the same Senate and same House.

Who do you think would have done better and how?

The ".ru" stands for "Really Uberpatriots."

Biden’s policy and legislative record as President are far more impressive than anyone expected, and the author of this piece outlines how and why.

No one you're responding to read it.

You mean the railroad thing where he got them the sick days they wanted after the news cycle stopped paying attention?

The gerrymandered house and the gerry-landed Senate make this impossible. Put whatever candidate you want to replace Biden. The results will be the same or worse.

We can't even fill basic pentagon positions thanks to "Coach." But Biden should have unilaterally fixed everything. Sure.

If this was a law asking about policies for protecting against piracy it wouldn't even be a headline. Protect money, fine. Protect humanity, fuck that.

Awesome. Get fucked.

It's crazy how Biden managed to weaponize all these separate judges at once, all these separate prosecutors, and all these laws written decades before his presidency. What a conspiracy.

Or maybe these shitheels are actually breaking the law.

Wasn't even there on January 6th. I point this out not because he was over-sentenced, but because everyone else was under-sentenced. For one separate case the judge said "I don't think I'll hand down a sentence 15 years below guidelines ever again in my career." Yeah. You shouldn't have done it this time either.

The guy would rather be called "Coach" than "Senator," by choice. He doesn't care about what's best for the United States, it's citizens, and his constituents. That's his second job. His first job is "Coach."

Let me keep track of the most recent gerrymandering rulings: Republican maps violate constitution. Republican maps violate constitution. Republican maps violate constitution.

Outcome: Republicans re-submit maps that violate the constitution.

Judiciary: Well, it's close to an election, we can't make them change it now.

Ad nauseum.
