    Encumbant advantage? In this economic climate, it’s exactly the opposite. People who are feeling increasingly fed up with a world in which they cannot make ends meet vote against the status quo.

    4 years of Trump got people to vote against Trump. 4 years of Biden got people to vote against his VP.

    Biden himself would lost even harder than Kamala did.

      And where do you buy your crystal ball that proves you right?

      Oh? You don’t have one? Then you don’t know and you’re speculating that Biden would have lost. We wouldn’t have known until we knew but now we never will and we all lost. I can’t wait to get hunted down for not being a white Christian man all because

        I’m basing my analysis on the observable trend that incumbents lose when the economy is poor. As well as, y’know, Biden’s abysmal poll numbers after the debate, the reason he dropped out in the first place.

        You’re the one who started insisting incumbent advantage would’ve been a thing here, where’s your crystal ball?

          Poll numbers:

          Every president since we’ve started recording the “what’s your impression of how the president is doing” has a slump in polls. Biden’s slump isn’t even historic. It’s typical, average. Go look at some numbers before you decide to have an opinion.

          Emcumbant Advantage:

          Please screenshot where I said “Biden would have won”. I won’t wait because I didn’t. I said it was an advantage and when you fight in anything you maximize every advantage you have. You do everything you can to win. It does not garuntee a win but it shores up your odds. The strategy we used was to instead shoot ourselves in the leg and try to gobble to the finish line. So again shut the fuck up until you have a thought actually worth more than the bullshit headlines of whatever fucking rag you are passing off as your opinion you stupid fuck

            If you want to “do everything you can to win”, step one is not running the guy who was borderline incoherent in the debates. Staying by that would’ve been shooting yourself in the leg.

            Did we watch the same debate here? There was never any advantage coming out of that one.

              Borderline incoherent, clearly that’s wrong because grandpa rantsalot is now our president.

                You don’t have to tell me the other guy is terrible. I know he is.

                But did you actually watch the debate? The fact that he came out of that debate arguably looking even worse than Trump - in the eyes of voters, don’t even try to argue this one - was a clear red flag.

                There was never any ‘advantage’ here, and Biden stepped down because even he knew it.

        If you actually think you will get hunted down…buy a goddamn gun. Take classes, carry every day. Arm yourself and your friends.
