Ignoring the mainstream media's sensational hype of the 2024 election, things are not nearly so bad as you think.

The impression that we are given is of a close rerun of the 2020 election, polls shifting back and forth as the GOP makes it clear Trump will be renominated, and the Democrats go with Biden. Trumpies are planning violence at their candidates insistence that he's not being treated fairly, third party candidates and independents are being given a huge share of media time, far beyond what their support warrants, and the fact that the GOP's presumptive nominee faces 88 indictments and is now on trial, giving all kinds of fodder to the sensationalism.

But, is that a realistic perspective of what's actually happening?


---snip---

What I do think will happen is that President Biden will comfortably win the 2024 election. He'll carry all the same states he did in 2020, expanding his margins of victory in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan, he'll pick up North Carolina and Florida, and has a good chance of adding Ohio. He'll get a Democratic House of Representatives by a comfortable margin and he'll have a senate in which he won't have to worry about the whims and whines of Joe Manchin or Kristen Sinema.

I don't think that's just wishful thinking. I think that's a fairly accurate analysis, based on doing some digging, applying logic and listening to the few independent media sources who seem to be on the ball when it comes to finding out what is really happening. It seems, by observation, that Trump has lost more than he can afford to lose from his party, whether their current, out of touch leadership is willing to admit that or not. He already lost independent voters, and isn't doing anything to get them back. His campaign of retribution and vengeance is even turning off some notable conservative, Evangelical support. He has to increase his base to win, not decrease it, and with the electoral college relic still a factor, he has no place to go to make things any different than they were in 2020.

1. That's my feeling too, but I am in California

and therefore, don't see what the rest of the country is like right now.

2. I fully agree with this assessment

The election won't be close, Biden's going to win by a very comfortable margin. It's the news media that are whipping this into a "horse race" where none exists.

Chump has lost so many voters since the last election, which he LOST. How can the Repukes possibly think he has a chance this year?

The good news is that Joe Biden's win will help all the down-ticket Democrats. We're going to take back the House and retain the Senate. Biden will gain in so many ways that the next 4 years are going to be glorious.

4. The media keeps trying to campaign for Trump to make it interesting.

What we know is everything that happened along every step that Trump took on his way to the courthouse. We know about every derogatory and disparaging statement he has made about judges, attorneys, their families, and their social media posts. We know when he tweets idiocy in the middle of the night on his failing social media network. We know when he falls asleep in the courtroom and when he passes gas. And while the more we know, the more disgusted we should be with this man who has nothing but contempt for people who aren't like him or aren't loyal to him, and that he thinks his followers must be the world's stupidest people, it's not like any of this is worth the space it takes up or the time it takes to read it.

I'd rather hear from Joe.

How can anyone consider voting for a zero like that unless they're a zero too?
