i'm getting so, so tired of the doomerism on here, and the press loves covering shit like a horse race instead of explaining fundamentals and what's at play, a job that seems to fall to @golikehellmachine.com on here.
so here's a thread about why i'd rather be biden — yes, biden — right now

Don't usually "pray to god" but praying to a higher power that your analysis comes true and this country is saved. Thank you for this post.

but wishcasting isn't doing anyone any fucking favors. Even assuming Biden did step down, the idea that a brokered convention helps us is--you know what, I'm not gonna argue it anymore, I will gladly eat crow if it turns out they're right. But ffs, can we get back to "Trump is a literal nightmare?"

I mean, I get the doomerism. I do. The stakes are too fucking high to even consider, and it's hard to wrap one's mind around even being in this position. We're all still traumatized from 2016, nvm the actual tenure and then of course Covid. I'm scared. For my mental health as well as ofc the country

2/ the baseline for this election is 2020. normally "the last election" might not be a perfect baseline, but it's the same guys with the roles reversed. both are quasi-incumbents, and we have a four year record for the both of them, with some recency bias for biden. here's that map

What about the GOP absolutely refusing to certify a Biden win?
