Inflation, deficits, gas prices, and recession are the only issues that I see that can deteriorate. All are surmountable to considerable degree. Most importantly, Joe Biden has outworked the GOP at every turn. He has supported citizens of modest means with every tool of government he can find. Putting sustainable spending power in the hands of voters is a BFD. Wage increases have helped. It's all been like "seed money" that jump started many people's lives with jobs, side gigs, home gigs, remote work, fledgling businesses.

So yes. Democrats have an edge at this point in time.

Tell me about Congress and the Senate. Almost imperative we hold at least one House of Congress. My guess is we will capture the House.

Name a single state that Biden wins that Trump won the first time. Secondly we are talking about 40,000 votes in 3 states. GA, AZ and WI.

There are sinister people at the helm of the GOP and folks like them funding them.

They are ruthless. They want power and they don't care how they get it.

Jan 6th showed they will stop at nothing. They're still lying or making excuses about Jan 6th now.

Start fighting harder than you have ever fought before to change minds being poisoned daily by their lies and corrupt media. Stand up for voting rights and supporting honest election officials. Help all the way down the ballot. etc.

Do not be lulled into a sense of "we've got this".

I go back a long way. I've never seen a greater threat to America than the one we're presently facing.
Do NOT underestimate it for a second or you might regret it for the rest of your life.
Please consider this seriously.

this is the creative speculation forum. Why do you think the poster put it here instead of GD?

Concerns about his age is a drag on Biden. There has been no significant movement since the documents indictment. And then there is the danger from a third party run.
