I hope you're right. First time he ran it was also "unlikely" he would win.
I hope y'all yanks are smart enough to go vote against Don Cheetos. Don't fuck over the rest of us because of your own lazyness
If the off-election two years ago is any indication, the 'pubs are doomed. Presidential terms are 4 years but we hold elections for Congress every 2. The last one was in 2022 where everyone was predicting a "red wave" because usually the opposition to the party in the white house makes massive gains. The Republicans and their supporters were expecting to gain a majority in the Senate and they lost seats instead. They gained a majority in the house but only by a very slim margin. Definitely not the super majority they were expecting. This is unheard of in our nation's history and it's because the Republicans activated negative turnout. More and more people are becoming more interested in politics and it's not because they like the Democrats, but because they really hate Republicans right now. You can thank SCOTUS taking away abortion rights for that. What little support women had for the Republicans is long gone after that decision. Don't trust the polls or the Twitter spammers. The 'pubs are entering the dark ages and it's all their doing.
I really hope you're right. I'll believe you on Jan 6 2025(?)when you swear in your next president
Hope y'all end up with someone a bit younger than Biden though. While I have no issue with his presidency, I do have an issue with his age. Ppl above 75 (or even 65, or whatever the local retirement age is) should not be in politics anywhere imo.
