People really think that Trump and 2024 fear mongering will be enough and I'm not so sure. There is a part of the population that is aware the US is blowing billions on Ukraine and Israel and hate it. There's plenty more who say they remember the economy being better under Trump and others being primed by the anti-woke propaganda. You've also got even more people who are just tuned out. They're not going to be posting on social media how the Dems have lost their vote. They're just not going to show up to vote and spend election night jerking off or something.

That was the feeling I got while in Upstate New York last year. The average normie isn't fond of Biden and the project 2024 fear mongering isn't as effective because it mostly centers around a group of people that isn't them.

I wouldn’t be as infuriated if the democrats would just fucking choose someone else to be their candidate. Like yes, materially things won’t change. But holy shit. These lanyard removed pay like $200k to get a degree in propaganda and cannot fucking put on optics for the life of them. WHY does it HAVE to be Biden? No one fucking likes him. Are you telling me out of the tens of millions of democrats, there’s not a single 50 year old guy who can speak coherently and put on convincing lies? It HAS to be Biden? He’s the only person qualified for this job? Fucking Christ.

Name recognition is all Biden had in 2020 and it's all he has now. Obama was an incredibly popular candidate and activated a lot of non voters (I don't have data on this). Biden got crowned because he had that Obama sheen still. Now he has the "beat Trump" clout.

They tried to prop up several new Obamas in 2020 and it didn't work
