    I think it is true. Most loyal Biden Dems are now resigning themselves to Trump winning. They’d rather Trump win than to have a different nominee.

      I really don’t get it. Biden has done the most good in one term as president than any president of my lifetime. Im one of the ones who like him.

            Protestants were invented by a king who wanted a divorce. Seems pretty protestant to me.

          I am not entirely informed about the legal system of the US, since your apparently british and us the same common law system you should know. There was IMO no way of overturning the ruling.

          Also from what I’ve seen, US-“protestants” seem way more zealous than catholics, almost frightingly so

      “Sure, every single other attempt at replacing the nominee resulted in massive loss, but this time will be different!”

        I mean there is a conversation to be had that it would be different. The debate performance would normally shift votes, but didn’t. The assassination attempt would normally shift votes “hugely” but it hasn’t shown. I think people knew who they were going to vote for before we knew the nominees. No new information was going to change that.

        I would just argue that with everything being “unprecedented” we shouldn’t rely solely on old election data. Trump won in 2016 because he ran a different campaign, yet Democrats still seem to want to run old style campaigns.

          Glade you asked. YES. Former Presidents Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush all had approval ratings below 30%. “When comparing Biden to his predecessor, the latest number is just below the highest approval rating (44%) Donald Trump received in our polls during his four years in office…”
