Biden is going to cut into the Trump vote
Big doubt. The protests and property destruction are almost universally recognized as a Democrat-lead action. In the beginning (May or so) the Democrats had a chance to pull the "not everyone is evil" card and send the DHS in to clean up around the courthouses. Yet, we saw nothing but placating from left-wing governors. They
supported it. Not through inaction, but
deliberate lack of action and in some places (particularly New York, California, and Oregon)
allowing the wanton destruction of property and in some cases violence.
I'm not speaking any talking points here. Step back out of your basement and take in the 30,000 foot view.
The truth is neither Biden's abject racism, nor Trumps borderline incompetence, will matter in the upcoming election. The vote is simply divided among the following lines:
1. Is/Isn't COVID going to improve. A lack of vaccine
favors Trump because it solidifies the idea that the lockdowns were all for naught. A vaccine
favors Biden because "if we just locked down a little longer people would still be alive".
2. Economic stress. At 30% unemployment
due to the lockdowns people are understandably afraid of the other shoe dropping. A stricter lockdown would likely tank the presidency of the person who advocates for it. This person is likely Biden.
3. The middle class continues to be gutted. The Trumpbux didn't rain on them and they are understandably angry. Trump has done very little for the middle class, but so too the Democrats, who have not done a single thing for the Middle class since their God-King Obama reigned. I think this could go either way, leaning towards Trump because the Green New Deal will scare the vast majority of middle class union workers in various oil-based industries.
4. Protests. Universally seen as understandable at the outset but after riots ensued they were enabled by the Democrats. I will inject a single talking point here - promotion of BLM was a huge mistake. If the goal is to "improve black lives" and "solve systemic racism" then how is
dismantling the nuclear family (a stated goal of BLM) going to do that?
5. Dismantling the police as a platform. This was a huge mistake. Police unions have been pulling out of the DNC funding circuit since they publicly denounced them. Say what you may about police, but this is a significant source of votes.
Most Americans agree police are necessary.
Most Americans agree police should be more accountable for their actions.
Nearly no one thinks dismantling the police is a good thing.
6. Kamala Harris. She is arguably one of the worst candidates Biden could've picked. Her presidential campaign polling was so poor she dropped out before she even had a chance at making a stand. Susan Rice would've been a far better candidate. I'm saying that as someone who tends to lean right.
7. Empowering "The Squad". They represent the furthest left fringe of the party. Giving them the platform is akin to giving the KKK a platform in the RNC. Empowering unhinged radicals never pans out regardless of what side you sit on.
Polls are almost universally slanted Democrat and have been for several elections now. Registered Democrats significantly outnumber registered Republicans so I suppose this is expected. Trump stands a good chance at a landslide victory provided he stops making stupid statements. This appears to be incredibly difficult
considering he is now suggesting the deep state is withholding a vaccine and appears to only get his news from OAN.
Remarkably in any other circumstance I would likely agree Trump is a 1 term president. If Yang, Bernie, or Beto ran against him it would be a done deal. However Biden/Kamala is so bad it almost makes every stupid thing Trump has done excusable. You take the two worst candidates and put them together. Biden
miraculously won despite being the absolute bottom polling candidate after the first set of drop outs. Bernie
again gets shafted despite being the uncontested popular vote pick. Yang, a moderate-left, gets
completely blown out. It's 2016 all over again baby.
Of course, you will simply copy-paste whatever shariablue tells you to respond to me with. I would one day like to know what you honestly think.
