After this week I'm convinced they're not winning. They're too high on their own supply, it's 2016 all over again.
I don’t get why hexbear has suddenly decided that kamala is going to win. Yes, she has a better chance than Biden, but it’s still basically just a coin toss.
I think it's because watching democrats flail around trying to prop up a shambling corpse only to get owned in the election by Trump of all people was going to be funny as hell but that got ruined and now we're bummed out.
I think a lot of people aren’t factoring in the economic situation. Shits hard rn, a lot of people vote off that without having any form of coherent politics.
every four years the electoralism really comes on strong around here
The only interest I have in the electoral process in America is the bets I place on it. I currently got 20 on trump against some old lib
At the end of the day, all Americans are libs.
and every time there's a bunch of smug "why do you care so much" energy that doesn't understand what electoralism even means. electoralism is directing the revolutionary party's resources and energy into the electoral process. on hexbear, almost nobody is even advocating people vote a certain way on an individual level. discussion/analysis of the bourgeois elections =/= electoralism. we aren't a political party that's being derailed from important political activity by a preponderance of talk about elections. at most it's just annoying
Electorlism is an addiction and should not be taken lightly. Vote for me and we'll have a Vote Exchange on every corner, so you can safely inject the votes directly into your veins without fear of illness.
Electoralism is when I talk about elections and the more I talk about elections the more electoral I am
Lmao. People on this site still have no idea what "electoralism" means
Probably because Trump hasnt been funny for a while so we have lost faith in him, even tho the election will mostly be decided by who can mobilized their base more instead of going for the independents
They put his ass in the cube that's why
It's damning just how senile and clownish the GOP is and they still have a significant chance of winning anyway.
They're kinda boosted by the fact that the dems just held a frothing fascist rally filled with Hitlerian raving
Why would fascists be excited by the "polite" off brand?
yeah it's still much closer than the dems are letting on. I'd guess that whatever the outcome, it's gonna be pretty close to 50-50 just like 2016 and 2020.
The difference is that Trump seems to floundering now, and has been low energy in general lately, and many right-wingers are getting tired of the Trump movement, and would probably prefer to go back to the conservative equivalent of brunch. Which wasn't the case in 2016.
