Chris, polls currently show Biden is losing bigly to Trump in the battleground states. He isn’t popular, particularly amongst the young.
Whether the concrete issues and the country’s re-entry into the madness of the Trumpiverse in 2024 will win out over Biden’s weakness remains to be seen. It could go either way, it seems to me. I’m a bit worried.

Rowleys pension will be around the hundred grand a year mark or probably more. Nice backstop to have if you have to tell the PM and the Home Sec to go fuck themselves.
If he doesn’t want to I’m quite happy to.

Thought I read the opposite JB. That is, while he is indeed losing to some key groups - the young, male minorities and some key locations, overall he's still ahead of Trump. The challenge that I read was that the Republican nomination is a shoe in for Trump, but polls show Republican leadership that while Trump will win with Republicans, he'll lose the Presidential race overall. That's the Republican's conundrum. Hope it is indeed so.

Biden’s issue will be basically doesn’t get his base out as he’s so uninspiring even though the alternative is incredibly unpalatable the rational thing to do is reject both and disengage
Not unlike Starmer perhaps

Being overall ahead doesn’t mean he will win if he loses all the battleground states to Trump.
Hillary Clinton beat Trump by 3 million votes and she still lost. The electoral college system is a bit messed up over there.

As is FPTP over here. Totally skews the outcome of the vote. All votes should count. Not just the ones in swing states or marginal seats.

The electoral college could vote proportionally, but all but 1 (IIRC) do not.

Largely winner takes all. I want to say New Hampshire or Vermont is proportional but I can’t remember.
