    It’s interesting to see how the Republican poll illustrates how off base this sub is from reality: https://newjerseyglobe.com/presidential-election/sienna-poll-finds-chris-christies-gop-primary-base-joe-biden-supporters/

    One thing the Democrats had going for them in the 2020 election was media control. This time around they won’t have that. Republicans are more independent thinkers, unwilling to trust establishment media. They don’t even trust Fox News anymore. Good luck controlling a grassroots social media effort.

      …what? Dems has had that for the longest time now, way beyond 2020 and they still have it, even more so since there’s one in the white house. and even if Dems didn’t have media control, Biden mostly won because he wasn’t Trump. All the data shows more people voted to get Trump out, not necessarily to get Biden in.
