Why didn't the Blue Wave happen?

Biden will probably win but only just. He badly underscored his polling, as did the Democrats nationally.

Im not interested in Trumpian conspiracy theories about the polls and I get that Biden did win the popular vote on a high turnout. Even so...

Trump increased both his vote share and amount. The Lincoln Project made huge efforts to try and shift Conservatives to Biden but it didn't really materialise. In spite of all the things Trump has said and done, he increased his votes with minorities. In spite of his awful covid handling, he is still favoured by people who prioritise the economy.

Im interested in what people think.

if you are honest if you look at both candidates neither are shining examples of what a united states president should be i am sure no disrespect to joe he has put up a great campaign even against a dead in the water opponent but i think if the democrats had put up a more dynamic candidate the game would of been up for trump by now@burnley123

@smiler2012 OK. But do you have an real examples of why Biden isn't what a President should be? What exactly would make you say that?

@Ynotisay do not get me wrong i am for joe anyone but trump more or less but i am british and i have seen it in our political system with the labour party where they have had leaders who have never been appealing to the voters joe has put up a brilliant campaign but he has not been able to convince trump obedience base that he does in no way that they should vote for joe plus the accusations thrown about joes past

@smiler2012 Biden served in the U.S. Senate, with honor, for like 35 years on top of 8 as the VP. The only scandals he's been involved in are fictitious and fed to the brainwashed where they eat it up. NO ONE could convince the cultists of our nation of anything that is in opposition to Trump. I appreciate you mentioning you're British because the reality here is a little different than what you might be aware of on the day to day. Logic and truth don't apply.

@Ynotisay well joe was a military hero compared to his draft dodging shin splint opponent it is sad really and i will be honest i thought this a long time the fickle human being granted everyone is entitled to a view but how can they not see what trump is and what he stands for his core base not sit down and think well yes that is not right what trump is proposing
