Amazing what happens when Democrats try even slightly.
What's the point in starting your campaign early when it's just a rehash of the last one? The only reason trump started campaigning so early is to stay out of jail. Biden doesn't need to spend money now when the impact will be far greater the farther into the race we get.
I wouldn't hold my breath on these numbers.
1-2% points is a slimmer margin than Gore had against Bush in '00 and Hillary had against Trump in '16. Both are inside the margin of error, even.
Looks even worse when you get to the bigger battleground states - your Arizona and Georgia and Pennsylvanias - where people are seriously pilled on the Invading Hordes of Illegals narratives. Nevermind the Midwest states - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan - with the large enclaves of Muslim voters, who aren't super thrilled with the genocides Biden keeps funneling money and military equipment into.
Yaaaaa... so you can fight Putin in Ukraine or you can simply do nothing and wait till he attacks a nato country. Lots cheaper to do it while he is in Ukraine.
"You" appear to be doing nothing. After that ill-fated Reddit Expeditionary Force got shelled into fine paste, none of the Keyboard Commandos on this site or any other appear to be booking tickets out to Kyiv to enlist.
This isn't a war between Western Liberals and The Slavic Menace. Its Ukrainian conscripts press ganged into the meat grinder, while bowtie dipshits on the cable news shows clap. "You" only know how to post. "You" haven't fired a shot in this war.
FTFY
Has Zelensky's military figured out how to press gang Russians?
You know he was behind, right? These polls reflect trajectory, not dominance. I'd all but given up hope completely before this 🤷
I agree he needs the leftist and Muslim vote in the rust belt. But besides a reversal I'm decades of US single state policy, which he's now done, along with investing in aid infrastructure, not sure what more can be done. People wanna get Trump elected to spite themselves, can't get through to them- equally cultist as GOP. The 2024 Bernie Bro.
Then Biden is fucked, because he can't do State of the Unions all the way from March to November and hope to ride the bump off each one.
STOP. SENDING. WEAPONS. TO. ISRAEL.
Fuck, if he really wants to go balls-to-the-wall, he can pick up the phone and tell Linda Thomas-Greenfield to call a meeting of the UN Security Council for the purpose of organizing an international peacekeeping force into Gaza. Same shit we were more than happy to do during the Bosnian Genocide and the Guatemalan Civil War and the East Timorese Crisis.
This has nothing to do with Trump. This is between Biden and the tens of thousands of American Muslims who are getting news of family and friends slaughtered in Palestine on a daily basis.
And those of us who have no skin in the game but just hate seeing Israel steamroll over civilians and blatantly lie about it.
Continue to show callous disregard for the now north of 30,000 dead, while quizzically demanding a reason for Biden's collapsed support.
Remind them Trump want to make it worse

Hundreds of thousands of people in Rafa are starving to death right now. You think they're going to live to see next January?
Trump want to make it millions
I mean.. you kinda lose all good will from me when you espouse nonsense like "this has nothing to do with Trump" when we're talking about his being elected as a result of the decision to not vote against him. So your words don't mean anything when he's president and affects our lives. And supporting genocide in Gaza. And supporting genocide in Ukraine. The things he's said he will do if elected. Yeah, I think you're feigning leftism to get Trump elected. Because logic, as I've clearly laid it out. But feel free to talk about your feelings and hopes as if they're the same.
But don't you get it, the only way I can show support for Palestine is by staying home, even if it means electing a fascist who promised to promised to wholeheartedly support Israel in their genocide! /s
This is a US foreign policy that goes back to the Truman Administration and has continued uninterrupted across virtually every administration since (with some marginal credit given to Obama who had beef with Netanyahu from day one).
Plugging my ears and shouting "You need to support my guy to end the genocide" but he's been president for three years and the genocides in Ukraine and Palestine still won't end.
