What the absolute feck?
It's amazing that sun_tzu has a clearer picture of the future of the US prediency than 95% of the posters on this thread, who think things are looking good medium or long-term if Biden is elected.
I felt that Reagan=Thatcher and Blair=Clinton, to defeat the shadow (centrism) you have to defeat the substance (conservatism), this argues it's the other way around. I'm not sure. Obama invoked Reagan, Boris didn't invoke Blair.

What the feck
Please show me the 95% of posters that are Biden supporters.
No, not biden supporters, people who think something better is going to come after him, or he's the first step, or that the Left more has a seat at the table.
95% was wronh, closer to 60
@berbatrick ...take a step away mate. Seriously. It's not good for any of us to be so consumed by this crap - regardless of who we support.
Gonna be a looooong next few months still.

So you've been complaining about how people are reacting to Harris and you don't even know what you are talking about. Incredible.
He'll lose no matter who he choses, so doesn't really matter.
The problem with Harris is that she’s incredibly cynical even by political standards and will do whatever is required at any given time regardless of any previously stated opinions or positions. The way she knifed Biden during the debates was beautifully done in a vicious way, and basically pure Kamala.
Kinell.
Now Harris might have to defend her right to be VP and POTUS by some feckin idiot(s?) questioning her citizenship. Twitter etc should ban outright any conversations that state falsehoods wrt to that.

You've clearly never thought deeply about why and how tides work.
Better than him not getting elected? Surely that's easy.
Do you think so? He's favourite with the bookies and the corona stuff seems to have hurt Trump's chances a lot. The big question is whether he'll physically last the run IMO
It's....only...August
I imagine the people angry with him because of corona stuff weren't going to vote for him anyway.
But it's Hilary man.. If Big Lebowski was shot now, he would not say I hate the Eagles.
He was touting good economy all through and now he can't. With unemployment rising, he's short of things to tout as success.
We'll probably see a spate of useless "executive orders" as he tries to paint over the turd of his presidency.
She loves to pivot. I'll give her that.
Fair enough - I've been following the odds for a couple of months, and he was actually heavy favourite back in March, big swing now.
Obviously odds don't necessarily mean it's a sure thing; Clinton was heavy favourite in 2016
This should be a top priority of the Dems win the Senate back.
Do people in US envisage that if Biden/Kamala win the election, that Obama would be the back seat president, with Biden being used as a face?
Biden's cognitive issues seem very real. Is a majority ready for Kamala to become President without winning an election?

I would love this just to see Hillary's face.
Not a chance. I don't think they'd do that.
So you think Trump wins?
No, I don't think Obama would be back seat President. I doubt he'd even step foot in the White House except for an official portrait unveiling or other ceremonial events.
Also, when you win an election the Vice President is right there on the ticket. A lot of the legalities surrounding the VP are similar to the President. They are elected by the Electoral College on a separate ballot to the President, to their own term which starts and ends the same time as the President. I wouldn't say that a VP who ends up taking office "didn't win an election". They weren't top of the ticket but they weren't a shadow figure either.
You literally chopped off the rest of the sentence, which articulated what I currently know, from research. That some next Trump level trolling right there.
Acknowledging I don't know everything? Seems a bit too humble for some posters.
I'm sure this is very nuanced but I'm absolutely missing the reference. I do know a fair bit about tides though. Went to the Bay of Fundy a while back, absolutely mind-blowing, feels like there's a whole county that disappears.
You are wrong, you do not understand how tides work,you can't explain them!
I suppose this is the only reason quite a few people know who David Silverman is
I don't think Obama needs to run from back as it's just be a continuation of what he did earlier.
As to Kamala, media is already noting Biden as transitionary president. Either Kamala gets it sooner or she'd be primed to go for it next election.
Biden seems to lead consistently in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan with Florida & Minnesota to swing towards Trump. Which is good. If Biden can swing these states, it'd be huge, esp Minnesota
if and when?!?
Subtlety is a lost art nowadays.
Don't do this to us ... I remember back to the last election, and you were sure Trump couldn't win!
I get that, but someone still has to lead the thinking and take the big decisions ... and it doesn't seem that Biden will be up to it.
As a fan of Obama, I like the idea of him clocking in for 4 hours every day, telling Biden what to do. They have the relationship where it would work.
