Polls have also shown Biden’s support slipping among Black and ethnic minority voters, who helped drive his 2020 election win against Trump.

Analysts say Biden’s best hope now is a simple but quite specific number: that wages continue to rise faster than prices as they have done since April of last year, allowing consumers to feel that their wallets are fuller.

    imagine if the republicans ran like democrats. would you switch to voting for a supposedly pro-choice pro-gay moderate republican? no? why are we told to expect the opposite, especially from a more propagandized group of voters?

      And yet it feels like they really do have us over the fire, and the best they can do is call us Russian trolls and tell us to cope. That’s the best they have to offer.

      Meanwhile, I have friends and loved ones being detained, deported, or worse – and they call me privileged if I complain about it.

      I’ve literally been accused of de facto voting for Trump even when I disclose that I voted for genocide Joe. It’s cultlike and weird.

        it is. I think they’re just scared and clinging to “vote blue no matter who” as a security blanket while the party acts like controlled opposition. I wonder what they’ll think when their strategy loses.

          They’ll blame us, again. They’ll blame leftists and progressives for not voting for their next bad candidate

          Because the alternative is fascists taking over. They’ll think the same thing we all thought in 2017 when a bunch of clueless fools bought the “both sides” Russian propaganda.
