Yes, you can pick and choose certain things. When it comes to the overall rule of law is where it is a no-brainer for me.


That is part of why the reality is more nuanced.

Nuance as in subtle distinction?

In what ways?
Policies
Damage to our country
The rule of law
...

I'd rather have a nutcase that is somewhat predictable and mostly delivered where POTUS matters most (SCOTUS and other nominations) than a senile person who is mostly handled and controlled by arrogant, globalist, Bolshevik "progressives".

The only way my opinion might count is by discussing with my SIL who is registered to vote in PA.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Ignoring totalitarianism even in smallest forms is dangerous. Didn't think that needed to be said but I guess I was wrong.

ETA: Is this the type of SCOTUS you are talking about?

Just days after inciting a verbal fracas in the House Oversight Committee meeting, MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted an upside-down flag on her X account Wednesday, with a call for Americans to do the same in solidarity with Justice Samuel Alito and the Trump insurrectionist movement.

Either way, as things stand now, it’s more Biden losing than Trump winning.
100%. Biden's advisors are idiots.
All he had to do was be center/center-left and this would be an easy win. Instead he panders to the progressive/woke and it will cost him the election. The difference between elections is the swing voters much more than the base.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

What does LCR have to do with the economy? That is where the race will be won/lost.

He is the one that gets the blame or credit. Was that a serious question?

Absolutely serious. The POTUS has very little effect on the economy. Blame and credit - yes. Undeserved - absolutely.

Correct, but he is talking about the elections. Unfortunately, the US in particular has a very uneducated voter base.

I might have misunderstood. I understood your post to mean that election are won and lost over the economy, not over any specific political affiliations.

Not unique to the US.

You understood correct. If the voters believe the economy is doing good, then Biden is reelected. They (I's) won't care if he is D or R.

I don't think "they" are necessarily I's (unless you mean independent thinkers). While I generally agree, I think there are too many other things at play here (some rightfully perceived as affecting the economy - such as immigration/southern border), not the least of which is age and mental capacity.

It easy for individuals to convince themselves to look past just about anything. One thing that is extremely hard is their pocketbook.

It's only a handful of states that matter. And economic conditions might vary from state to state. In border states immigration and border could be very important to people and those are perceived as having a significant effect on the economy.

Time will tell what the October surprise will be.
