I’ll vote for smaller stuff but probably not in the presidential election. Zero interest in voting for either candidate. CO is gonna vote blue anyway so it doesn’t really matter.
It’s a shame when you feel your vote won’t matter.

Oh yes. Especially in a key demographic.

Biden will also likely have the added boost of a female VP (possibly Warren), and since he's so goddamn old there's the chance that electing him could lead to the first female president. I don't know if it's a statistically significant population but I know a lot of people would be motivated to vote for him based only on that.

Suburban women shifted hard towards democrats in 2018 and I don't see why that would change now. I hear what Mickey is saying about midterms, but the 2018 vote was as much about Trump as anything else. If Biden talks coherently about healthcare and chooses a good running mate, he should be able to keep those soccer moms that switched over.

Has anyone talked about the liberal Wisconsin judge who beat Trump's incumbent, who he endorsed via Twitter after successfully suppressing voter turn out? She didn't just win she won convincingly.

I think it’s been the plan for a long time. She ran as a Bernie spoiler knowing she’d be named Biden’s VP when he gets the nom.

She ran as a Bernie spoiler because she couldn't help herself, got thirsty.

Plenty of evidence out there that Dems are in a stronger position than '16, and Trump's chances aren't as good as many people seem to think.

I think so too. When Trump tweets to go vote for someone it seems like that person loses most of the time.

It’s a good thing the DNC backed a strong candidate to defeat him

How do you define "strong candidate?" Turnout in the primary was up from 2016 and Biden posted some huge numbers post-Nevada, on the backs of the same type of voters who just defeated Trump's judge in WI.

I dunno, someone who’s not a walking corpse incapable of stringing a cogent sentence together? For starters.
