There is no death knell ringing for the DEMs, though. Trump ran against Hillary in '16 when, like you said, Biden would have beaten him. In '24 all incumbents across the globe took a beating. After elections people always bring out the stretcher for the losing party like its over for them. Politics is cyclical.
Of course we aren’t having an election, we have a king.
And that's the way I like it. I like the pendulum swinging to both sides that way you don't have nearly the issues like if one side dominates too much. I think both sides have good candidates. Trump was an anomaly. I've said I didn't vote for him in any primary but he kept rising to the top anyway. But if you take him out of the equation there's still good candidates. The DNC will rebound. Youre right. Its all cyclical.
Step up your game, bruh. You're better than one-liners.
This is a mistake though, because the GOP machinery has been busy building ways to prevent or blunt the pendulum swing. It's been the specific and overarching goal of the party for a whiiiile, and to great effect since 2010.
It still doesn't change my perspective though. One side having too much control is not a good thing.
Which is easy enough to say
I thought it before.... you know this
Sure, but thinking it kind of falls by the way side it the thoughts never translate into practical effect. And that's not something targeted at just you, but at the very idea of team sports being the deciding factor in our politics. The reality right now is that the SC is facilitating a massive reorganization and concentration of power from what our checks and balances are supposed to be. We aren't moving toward having a better means of the pendulum swinging, but of it swinging far far less due to structural changes. It's one party with a stacked SC making that happen. It's one party which is going to destroy the voting rights act, it's one party which granted the President criminal immunity, it's one party that is highly likely to self-deal the ability for the SC to rewrite (for all practical purposes) the meaning of constitutional amendments in accordance with their personal partisan beliefs. We are long past the point of thoughts mattering at all if that party never holds itself accountable from the inside.
Sup, man. Haven't seen you around.
Nah, Biden would've got crushed all the same. It was a four year long shit show that did the Dems in. Not any particular candidate. They were DOA.
Things will be fine imo. You think one side having all the power indefinitely is a good thing? Ok. I dont. And mid terms will likely swing back to dems. Its normal process imo. Dems are highly unpopular at the moment but moments pass and they will likely be back in the front seat again. Last CNN poll I saw was their favorability rating was only 29% and a record low. I still think they rebound soon.
No I don't, and I said the exact opposite. Furthermore, part of the problem is the illusion of power changing hands. Dems taking the House is a holding action. The real problem is the SC, which nothing can be done about
