I believe Biden’s strategy of being non-controversial (by laying low) could work out for him, but It’s a risky strategy. It seems the race will come down to which strategy is more effective: having wide appeal or an energized base.

Assuming republicans maintain their lead in the congressional and senatorial elections.

Exactly

This would be fun to watch

Fair point. I’d still prefer minimal foreign entanglements, but I think you’re right that USA should do something to defend against Russian and Chinese (communist Chinese) geopolitics.

Foreign intervention (like in Iraq or Vietnam) is not “helping” I disagree with Trump on many things, but I’m happy that he is shifting republicans away from foreign entanglement and military intervention. (Even if he’s making that shift for the wrong reasons)

I fear some nutjob will try and shoot up congress one of these days, leading to exactly this sort of scenario.

I do agree with Trump that people are over Covid-19. That said, people are over Trump as well.

What world are you living in where this is a reasonable conclusion?

I would be heartily in favor. I’d be a moderate republican at this time, likely one who leans slightly liberal. Although enforcing morality may dampen certain freedoms (like the freedom to discriminate), it will provide greater freedom to society as a whole. Freedom of opportunity, freedom from unfair treatment, and freedom from repression. As the 13th amendment proved, the right of the states can and must be put into question when the states are infringing on the right of the individual.

The best that we have. I never said they were good.

I mainly take the polls with a grain of salt because they got it so wrong last time.

I take the polls with a grain of salt, but believe they are the best method of predicting the election we have.

This election is totally unprecedented for a myriad of reasons, so I don’t think past elections are a reliable metric for what will happen.
