C.A. Petrov: The optimism right now feels to me like a lot of what we saw in 2016. And yes, Hillary Clinton *did* win the popular vote. Just not the Presidency.

the message from every corner of the US media ecosystem right now is "Joe Biden can't do the job of President" it doesn't have to be right, or fair, to sink into the minds of the people who will be voting in November propaganda works

Man, idk if this is going to work out www.cnn.com/2024/07/04/p...

to be extremely clear: I think the focus on this over "the Supreme Court declares Trump is a king above the law" and the dangers of Project 2025 is dangerous, irresponsible and unacceptable but it is a significant danger to Biden's chances of winning in November

not trying to pick on this reply in particular (sorry) but I see this sentiment a lot and I vehemently disagree with it nobody deserves what's coming in a second Trump term

The American people deserve it if they fall for this again

The majority of people aren't going to fall for it. No one is even worried about him winning the popular vote.

really hope this is right but I am, actually, worried about that at this point

The optimism right now feels to me like a lot of what we saw in 2016. And yes, Hillary Clinton *did* win the popular vote. Just not the Presidency.

I think we need to be cautious because there was a lot of talk right after the debate about how the polls hadn't moved because the average person didn't notice or care about this. But now we're seeing this being pushed in all the major media and that WILL move people.

Sorry if it wasn't clear that that was my point. Just because someone wins an election in this country doesn't mean everyone deserves what comes next or even chose it. We don't actually elect the person most of us chose.
