At THIS point in time, I'd wager that dt would LOSE another election for POTUS --- by an actual LANDSLIDE --- given how much support he's lost in the last 4 months since he took office.
He is rapidly becoming the most hated man in America, directly after his "first buddy", skum.
No doubt, the DEMs did a lot of stupid crap last time out and lost the election to the worst human being imaginable and it's largely Biden's fault. Yeah, it IS his fault because he was incapable of seeing reality about himself. His family and closest supporters were lying to themselves and to him that he had another term in him. In fact, his final year was a struggle.
That said, he was still a FAR FAR FAR better POTUS than dt was or every will be! Certainly a better human being on all counts too!
DEMs need to start getting behind their up and comers and STOP putting forth the idea that there's only ONE "entitled" candidate to run, according to them. They need to encourage ALL TAKERS and then let the PUBLIC sort them out well ahead of time so that only the cream of the crop remain to run in the primaries.
Their mistake over the last decade has been to get behind an one supposed "shoe in" who really isn't.
HRC comes to mind.
Kamala Harris was virtually the only realistic candidate in 2024 because BIDEN couldn't accept bowing out and letting a REAL primary happen to find the best candidate.
I thought that Kamala was actually damned good at what she was forced to do in such a short time. She has many really great ideas and policies that I think that Americans might have voted for IF they'd had enough time to hear them and been able to CHOOSE who the candidate was going to be. She lost by the margins of disaffected voters who were making a stand to punish Biden AND Harris, allowing dt to scoop up their states by NOT VOTING or voting 3rd party. They wound up getting NOTHING they wanted and wasting their votes as a result as the WORST person won because of them and their fruitless protest votes.
NO ONE wants to hear from the GOP what the DNC should be doing. Seriously. The GOP put forth the WORST imaginable candidate. So the GOP should STFU already!
So, ultimately, even if your guy has some decent advice in his diatribe, it's NOT well received.
