      He's clearly wrong. Biden could win. But Trump is clearly more likely to win at this point in time. Immigration, inflation, RFK's high polling, and widespread incompetence and senility are destroying Biden's odds. If Trump is convicted of a felony, which seems likely, it will likely pull down his numbers. It's easy to sit on the sidelines with your magic system and pretend you know something that everyone else doesn't when you actually know less. Then if you happen to be right, like any child could be, you claim your magic system works, and a bunch of retards on social media will believe you are a guru because they don't understand that successfully betting on an outcome when you already have information is neither random nor difficult. Biden's economy is like Jimmy Carter's...people are unlikely to reward that.

    0:34 I'm willing to cut him a little slack on the 2000 election since that is the third closest Presidential election in U.S. history (only behind 1876 and 1824), and he did give Al Gore the maximum number of false keys that a presidential candidate could have while still losing the election, so it really isn't that big of a failure.

I.E.: '75% of voters who are in the top 2% of early voting and rank 5% of the northeast region of so and so . .' - which is why many poll results have very fine print at the bottom of their published data.

      The protests aren't as large now as they were in 2020, but if you think these are 'small' you are not paying attention, but also underestimating the effect it may have on the election. Especially given the fact they are like a week only and completely spontaneous, but they are only getting bigger, not smaller. And with the police forces sending in riot gear, literal military equipment, and even snipers to sit on rooftops, I would be willing to guess they are only going to get bigger as time passes. That isn't to say that these will still be happening in November 2024, but the idea these are small is just stupid.
      That also doesn't even get into what the Democratic convention in Chicago is going to look like this summer, assuming that Biden's policy of aiding and abetting Israel with their ethnic cleansing of Palestine is still occurring. Nobody knows what exactly will happen, but the Social Unrest key should absolutely 100% turn against him and if you think otherwise you are living in a bubble and deluding yourself of what people in the real world actually think about this current policy. Don't aid in handing the election to Trump by underestimating how bad Biden's policy is on this issue... all Trump has to do is lie to the public, fake-position himself to the left of Biden, and say that 'he will bring peace' and he probably steals just enough votes to win some swing states. This issue is costing Biden the election and EVERY single piece of polling data says it is. Even if you think the opinion polls are 'fake' or are a dozen points off, which has literally never happened before in the history of polling and is an Alex Jones level conspiracy theory- even if the polls are off by a dozen points Biden is still UNDERWATER to the point where he may not even win the popular vote like he did in 2020.

    It is now known that Al Gore won in Florida and thus had more electoral points in addition to the popular vote, but this recount was after the fact by a non-governmental organization. If you recall, the Republican Supreme Court blocked an official recount in Florida in December 2000, whereas it permitted THREE recounts in Georgia after the 2020 election.

    • @kevindepew8193
      @kevindepew8193 16 днів тому

      That is an outright lie. It is NOT known. The actual recount that was in progress which the Supreme Court blocked would have given Bush the win in 3 of the 4 standards for what constitutes a vote for President, including the standard that was most widely used by States with defined standards. So even if the recount had finished, Bush wins. This count was only looking at Ballots that didn't have a vote for President. A later study that included Under Votes (no vote for President) and Over Votes (votes for more than one Presidential candidate) showed that Gore would have won by two of the considered standards and Bush would have won by two of the considered standards, including the most widely used standard. There was one later study that looked at statewide uncounted votes that would give Gore a slight lead if they looked at Under votes (no vote for President) and Over Votes (votes for more than 1 Presidential Candidate). Gore NEVER requested looking at ballots that had more than one vote for President. It was never ordered by the Florida Supreme Court. It was never seriously under consideration. The only thing considered were ballots without a vote for President to determine if there was an intention to vote for President. When those statewide ballots were looked at Bush still won (but by lower than the official margin). Only when you looked at Ballots where people voted for more than one candidate did that one study determine Gore would have won. To say it is "known" that Al Gore won Florida is either an outright lie or you are incredibly stupid.

    No way Donald and Biden should be nearly 50/50. To me, this says more about America than it does about either candidate. A lot of people wouldn’t want a man with Donald’s character to live next door to them, but they have no problem making him the most powerful man in the world. We should all find that dynamic disturbing.

      It says the most about the polls themselves and how unreliable they can be as a predictor of anything.

      @@occupybarstools5205 Yes! Every day the numbers change. At this point I think the people who want DONT want Donald are gonna vote for Biden. The people who WANT Donald are gonna vote for Donald. I don’t think anyone is changing their minds, yet the poll numbers change every single day, as if people are changing their minds every single day. I’m a veteran. Character, integrity, honor and morals mean something to me. Donald doesn’t care about any of those things. I’m not a fan of Biden, or any politician for that matter. But I know a man like Donald should never be a United States president. I think he’s gonna win the election tho. Biden is boring. Trump is exciting. Americans like entertainment. Donald is entertaining.
