    Yep, there’s even elections in non presidential years!

    What’s unfortunate is with a Dem presidential candidate like Biden that people aren’t excited about, is it makes the down ballot races less likely to win in red states. 08 Obama was fucking huge in that respect, and I’m feeling old now that it’s apparently ancient history and no one remember.

    Hell, even just 2020 there was that effect because people wanted trump gone and Biden was still an unknown to most Dems nationwide.

    Lots of people believed last primary and the promised Biden made.

    It’s hard to get that goodwill back from voters.

      Agreed. Most of these people don’t understand lots of people still remember the ways Democrats fucked us over during Obama’s term.

      • No public option in the ACA
      • Kid gloves for the financial sector while people were losing their homes
      • Huge surveillance expansion

      And more.
