Experts say the only realistic way Trump wins in 2024 is rural areas get redder and turnout collapses in Black and Latino areas. That is how he won in 2016. There is realistically no way the suburbs or undecideds swing back towards him overall. Unfortunately there are signs of this happeninng again.

If Biden loses, Biden will be fine. If you are a Democrat, an immigrant, gay, trans, etc, chances are you won't be.

An interesting thing that we have found about post-2020 elections is that turnout overall doesn't seem to move the margins much because on average, the electorate becomes demographically redder (ie older and whiter) while the voters within most measurable demographics get bluer.

Just in: in extremely early turnout data, Democrats outvoted Republicans in Hidalgo County (the most populated county in the RGV, a blue area that got significantly redder in 2020) 27-2 despite Republicans leading statewide. We could see some real RGV reversion this year. #Blexas

If Joe Biden publicly said "Fuck Trump" on the campaign trail, do you think that would help or hurt him win a second term?

Trump's poll numbers are projected to get worse (from Trump's perspective) because of his expected convictions. He only needs one conviction to do it and he is likely to get multiple (in the January 6 case). Not to mention that polls are likely underestimating Democrats according to experts.

3 Threaded Spouts
My honest prediction for the 2024 election is that Biden wins every state that he won plus Texas and Alaska. Suburban and heavily nonwhite regions get bluer, and rural areas are stagnant or get even redder. The national vote is around D+7, on par with 2018. The House vote matches the POTUS vote.

Well I guess people think I'm British now (I'm not).
Turn Texas Blue To Turn America Blue @BlexasBroNJA big difference between British vs American English is that British English sounds different from place to place (especially between the mini-nations like England vs Scotland especially) while American English is mostly the same often indistinguishable geographically.03:24 PM - Feb 11, 2024

We need a one-party state run by Democrats. Not the far-left but the normal left and the center left. Why? Because Republicans have gone to the extreme right, and there is no practical mechanism to replace the Republican Party with a safe center-right party given the way our voting system is set up.

What I find interesting is that MAGA has taken over the Republican Party and the progressive movement hasn't taken over the Democrats. I think it is because of pragmatism, and how moderates favor Democrats.

This is exactly why I am on Spoutible again. I'm doing Spoutible instead of Threads.
Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyLast year, I said people flocking to Threads were making a big mistake if they were interested in news and politics. Many of them helped migrate their followers to Threads, and they are not even wanted. Now, it will be harder for them to say "follow me here" to another platform and Meta knows it.05:53 AM - Feb 11, 2024Instagram and Threads Will Make It Harder to See Political Posts – Mother Jones
Instagram and Threads will no longer recommend political content to users, the websites’ parent company, Meta, announced Friday, in a change that will make it harder for people to see journalism during a presidential election year. “This announcement expands on years of work ..

One reason to be bullish on this is the same polls that show Trump leading show Suozzi leading as well. So I think Suozzi could win in a blowout off of Santos's unfavorables and other reasons I don't have space to explain. But don't take it for granted...

Respout if you agree Trump should have never gotten bail for the classified documents case.

If Trump loses in a landslide, do you think Republicans will continue to back "MAGA" candidates and policies?

It's not just Trump. He is a symptom. But it is the entire Republican Party.

Trumpers say that the DOJ is being weaponized against Trump and his allies. No, it is actually being soft on them and biased towards Republicans. Look at how they had a biased special counsel, Robert Hur, who still couldn't indict. If we had a fair DOJ, Trump would be in prison right now.

I agree. It's not something that people have not noticed much, but it's definitely something to consider.
💜 Callie 💜 @CallieSpeakzThe attacks surrounding President Biden’s age and mental acuity are not just ageist. Even worse, it’s about racism and sexism. Full stop. Fears of a Black/Asian woman, as President-in-waiting is what’s driving their ire. If Harris was a white man, there would be ZERO discussion about age.02:59 PM - Feb 09, 2024
