Democrats are handing Trump another term on a silver platter. But I don't expect them to do much soul searching if it happens. I expect them to just shift the blame onto everything else.

Swing voters and those who haven't decided yet often make the difference. I don't believe for a second they will turn out in droves for Biden. He is not the guy. If he's like this now, what's he going to be like in 4 years time?

If the Dems had a young firebrand type as a presidential candidate who could really take Trump to task, I think they'd walk the election.

I'm confused why people don't consider the idea of Kamala taking over if Biden does win and steps down. I know she's not popular, but it's like everyone forgets our system can handle the president being incapacitated.

She also does not excite voters tho. Don't get me wrong, better than trump sure, but no one wants a cop in the white house.

The president is like one of the highest ranking cops in government.

Probably doesn’t help that the administration has used Kamala as the bearer of bad news. Any time bad news gets released, it’s coming from Kamala instead of Biden. Because the administration wants to keep Biden’s nose clean, but that comes at the expense of Kamala.

Would Kamala beat Trump in the election?

I don't think she has polled well, but who knows. Drives me fucking insane that a convicted felon that staged an attempted coup is polling better than anyone to begin with

She self-imploded her own primary campaign, so no.

If Trump wins there could be a major realignment of parties in the near future.
