    Biden isn’t running against an incumbent, he is the incumbent. You want him to run from the center against an incumbent, OK. But then what? Run from the center again? That doesn’t make sense.

    Again, “consistent, overwhelming” victory is a fantasy. Control of the executive and legislative branch exchanges hands every few terms. That’s just how this rule-set and this electorate play out.

      JFC Now you’re just playing dumb. Biden ran against the incumbent, do I have to specify I’m talking 2020? When Biden faced off against the incumbent in 2020 he had to run centre. JFC. And guess fucking what, that carries on. Especially when it’s a rematch of the same guys, with the same policies, the same MO. Why do I bother when you play dumb. (Not that he’s even announced what he’s running on yet for 2024, but we can take a good guess).

      Yeah you’re back to excusing yourself for not voting. Jeez you know how you could change that changing hands stuff? By voting. Seriously why am I bothering when all you do is make excuses for not voting. If you want to continue you’re gong to have to do better.
