Biden is certainly the better man. I am very heartened by what the Biden administration is accomplishing in spite of the fascist blockers found everywhere. Let's cheer him on to a second term and keep working to oust Magas from our political life.
I'm in Ohio, but a native Californian. We are hoping to move back home, but I am rather hoping we are still here come November 2024 so we can vote Democrat in this crazy state.
I don't pay attention to polls. The only person I know who is totally obsessed with them is Trump. You just know that if he loses in 2024, he'll again claim the election was rigged, stolen, invalid, etc. etc... He'll probably also state that the polls were rigged, too.
The only "fair" election to Trump is one that he wins.
I agree that we should not let our emotional state mirror the anxiety that comes with these polls. This could cause a descending spiral: the more depressed or angry people get the more people want to either vote mindlessly out of spite for Trump to bring the house down or to tune out, stay home, hide, think about relocating and pack their bags. I read comments expressing how tired of all of this people are. Yet they come for the low down as well as commiseration. We are at a critical moment. We are waiting for a tipping point with these court cases. I don't expect that the polls will reflect what the outcome will be. When it comes down to voting I can't imagine that decent people, people with families that are looking to the future, would want to vote for Trump. I guess I still have faith in the majority and that it must prevail.
In many ways I hope there is a rematch. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the Trump/GOP grift get griftier. (Griftier will be a new wikipedia word entry in 2024). There seems to be no problem with republicans burning through money supporting no ideals nor principles.
When people say they're reluctant for a Trump/Biden rematch, I believe they're still reeling from the 2020 debacle. They currently feel a contest between ANY two other players would be preferable.
At runtime next Nov, (48 months later,) our political climate will look entirely different. A "new and improved" Trump/Biden pairing may be just the ticket our Country needs by then.
Trump on a ticket is never anything our country needs. Saying “May the better man win“ is an aspect of bothsiderism, and attempt (even if unconsciously), to normalize Trump’s radical criminality, because it assumes both are good men. And that just isn’t true.
Thank you for this astute observation. My reservation here is in New Jersey the rigged party line ticket arrangement. The state to local Democratic and Republican Party Chairs all sleep together. The system IS rigged and inherently gerrymandered. Why bother? I’ll just show up and vote.
Wow. You blew me away! A thoughtful and powerful response to my cynical posture. You’re right I need to show up. God knows when it comes to saving democracy ‘doing’ is my responsibility. I’ll let you know.

The only “fair“ election to ANY Republican these days is one where they win.
