Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record. Assuming Trump is the Republican nominee, 2024 will not be a normal reelection cycle for three reasons.
The solution isn’t “shut up and be grateful we’re not worse”. It’s actually running someone that’s good.
We’ve tried the “shut up you don’t have a choice” strategy and that just keeps ending up with republicans in office.
Why not just run good candidates that want to help America if they get in office?
Because that doesn’t make nearly as much
moneydonations as “Look at how awful the Republicans are.”If the D’s ran a real candidate that actually cared about the country, they’d get blasted in fund raising…People like Booker would go broke overnight if we got universal healthcare. Pelosi would lose her ass if we outlawed congressional trading.
We’re fucked…irrevocably completely and utterly fucked.
