    They don’t have to be the majority. They just have to show up to vote in some swing states where Biden voters don’t bother. President isn’t based on who has the majority. It’s based on a) turn out and b) electoral college. It doesn’t matter if everyone and their mom turn out to vote democratic in California. It matters if about 20,000 people in Wisconsin who voted Biden last year decide it isn’t worth the trouble this year.

      Correct. And all that already happened in 2020 when Trump LOST while being a sitting president.

      More people will vote against Trump, including this recently naturalized 'Merican.

        With how unpopular Trump and Biden are, it’s probably easier to lose as the sitting president. I don’t know anyone happy with the state of the country, and that’s generally blamed on the president.

          And added to that, the massive disinformation campaigns from foreign powers.

          What a shitshow, man.
