Why do I feel like Biden is going to lose?

There’s some truth to that but come on, who’s running is absolutely a problem. Two unlikeable geriatrics.
The American electorate has to be held responsible at some point. Now seems like a good time. These geriatric tools had to win primaries and elections. We could always choose somebody else.
I just used that. The actual prices are $6 at my grocery store dierbergs. In store. Over $10 for the big pack

This is in store at dierbergs. Here’s in store at schnucks our cheaper grocer
How do we hold the electorate responsible in a way different than living with the consequences? Can we fire them?
Ironically. The answer is something progressives won’t like. It’s to revert our voting laws back to something more similar to what they were after the founding,
To be eligible you must be a property owner and/ or pay x amount in taxes. Maybe look at raising the age as well or Vivek’s idea of having to pass a citizenship test
Skin in the game is essential. Too many voters that just take or see politics as some sort of game.
When you allow any idiot who survived 18 trips around the sun to vote, please do not complain when you get stuck with any idiot.

On the average across all real estate types, and only accounting for the sales price, you are right. But in modestly desirable areas (suburbia/rural with decent schools and services), home prices have gone up 80% or more. Anecdotally, my modest home in east central Indiana was around 130k 1/21 and is now 225k range here in 1/24. And these are just home prices, not the actual "costs:". When considering Interest rates have nearly tripled for a 30 yr fixed since 1/21 as well as sharp increases in insurance rates, you are paying well over double the cost for a home now as compared to 3 years ago.
Biden will not be the nominee. Otherwise, yes, he would lose.Heard on NPR today (short version): On the issue of who is a threat to democracy, Biden wins big, because Democrats and most independents agree with him. He also wins big because among people who are single-issue voters re: protecting democracy, he dominates Trump. It should be easy to see why he wants to keep playing that same song. It's a crowd favorite.
It just feels to me like most voters want more. Maybe we're fickle. Maybe we have a short attention span. But we already did Trump. The nation survived him once. Biden saved us from him once. Maybe the threat just doesn't seem that big anymore. Biden has a record now to run on. I just don't see this as a winning campaign:
Biden attacks Trump as grave threat to democracy in rousing 2024 speech
On eve of January 6 anniversary, US president condemns likely rival and warns voters ‘democracy is on the ballot’ in Novemberwww.theguardian.com
You meant the fed is supposed to be autonomous. They clearly are not, imo.
I get the impulse to just want a sense of calm. Bring down the temperature on our political discourse.
That assumes that Trump and/ or Biden are the chief cause of our political headaches which is wrong.
Seems like it would have to be a grassroots movement. More folks supporting and getting involved w level-headed candidates starting careers at the local, state levels. Maybe kinda like building a Major League Baseball team prior to the free agency era. Need a good farm system?
Those rate drops leading up to election 2024 will sure be nice for Uncle Joe. Crazy coincidence.
I don’t like Haley either. Biden is a nonstarter. And I get people who think trump is too crazy and lost. So what’s left. Haley
I’m starting a petition to draft Fetterman. Just wait for the primary debate between him and Biden.
Imagine how he’d look next to the viv. Watch your tone young man. You’re not too big for me to spank you on national television
This threat to democracy is such baloney. But I guess that’s all Biden has. The 10 months of his ignorant black scary adds. He deserves to lose.Heard on NPR today (short version): On the issue of who is a threat to democracy, Biden wins big, because Democrats and most independents agree with him.

Sure wish Vivek had a chance. Nearly everything he says is great. Now, does he mean the words he says? I love to see if he is real. Certainly, over any of these other idiots. On either team.
I've said this before, but it depends on where you live.
I just went to the grocery store this morning. My youngest, who for some reason, wanted some string cheese. I immediately thought of this thread and smiled a bit.
We got ours for $3.99 for a 12 count. She probably won't eat it, but that's for another day. Maybe her sister will see it and start to snack on it.
Yep here all right at $6 for the small pack. Sargento. Kraft. Etc.
Or, I don't know..... paper ballots only on election day would be fine with me.
I heard a stat the other day - half of the people in Pennsylvania had voted by mail before Oz and Fetterman actually debated. That's the kind of shit that needs to stop. Having such a long voting period just invites ignorant voting and corruption.
Not with our current HR dept, no.
Honestly, there’s too much money in politics. Engagement by the public is an inch deep and a mile wide. Constant ads that turn people off. Election seasons lasting a year turns people off. And, as I said before, tribalism. Now that is the politicians fault. They rarely turn on people in their own parties. WHY IS MENENDEZ STILL IN THE SENATE?
Maybe a few more Fettermans wouldn’t hurt.
You mean why do Democrats rarely turn on their own.
I was ready to 'like' your post until you called for a few more Fettermans. One moment of lucidity doesn't mean he's become normal.
He’s had a few. Maybe his perspective is changing along with his looks. And no chance Russia invades Ukraine. Not with that mustache. It’s almost Siberian. Putin would know
The Great Value Walmart cheese sticks are like $2.99. they are the same thing just in a different package.

look how he looks now. mr fetterman we have a meeting with
not now. goin to el paso. the border. sort it out
shit my kids would have a contact high before they got out of the car. we have armed cops at the entrance and exit to walmart. no thanks. and fwiw the $6 string cheese at schnucks/dierbergs is hte equivalent of a kroger. that's night our high end grocery store.
bottom line is joe biden is just a moron. dumber than shit. the guy destroyed the cost of living. fifty years in gov and didn't learn a thing. got co-opted by 20 something squad members. pathetic.
Quit buying name brand cheese, you dope. Unless you have legitimate reasons you can't leave your home quit shopping on Instacart. It appears your problem is laziness and not knowing how to shop at a grocery store.Every one at both groceries $6 for the small pack.

Let me fill you in on a place called ALDI then. The prices are low and the cougars and milfs are plentiful. Just don't forget a quarter and some reusable bags.
LOLNearly half. Here 40 percent. Other areas half or more. Calif, parts of so fla. I don’t say something unless it’s accurate.
The housing market was already painful, ugly and anxious. Now the 8% mortgage rate is back
Prices are high, supply is tight and rates are surging. The housing market is scaring off both buyers and sellers.www.cnbc.com
California house payments rise 127% since the pandemic’s onset
Highest interest rates in 23 years bog down home sales, which are 41% below long-term average.therealdeal.com
You said real estate has doubled, then linked two articles talking about interest rates and payments, where the quoted increase was 40%. 40% isn't double.
Neither article supports what you said.
$3.19, and it's likely the exact same product with a different package.
LOL
i said “nearly.” Learn to read. Words matter. here's the quote
While the typical home price since then rose 45 percent. IN THE ARTICLE. can you read?
and in many places it has more than doubled. not everyone lives in the middle of indiana dumbass
Well, polls say you're wrong. It's a winner for Biden. I just don't think it's enough to win by itself.
My hack is going to Walmart 10am on Mondays. The timing is key because the one near us is a hellscape at all other daytime hours. I’m a meat, vegetable, fruit snob so go elsewhere for that but who cares when it’s dairy or pantry stuff. Plus, I’m now an old, so my fully expressed frugality genes are soothed w each visit.
lol...the argument over the cost of cheese sticks has now moved to number 1 on my list of funniest things the WC have argued about. While were on the topic, what's the best cheese stick brand?
