He needs to: 1. Delay all trials until after the election.
2. Entice billionaires who want tax cuts
3. Keep the evangelical voters with him by selling bibles
and reminding them that he ended Roe.
4. Scare everyone about immigration and crime while making
sure the problem is not solved.
5. Do everything possible to encourage a third party candidate
And maybe just as important, he needs to keep the threat of physical violence front and center for those who defy him. That's what the Biden kidnapping and Judge's daughter threatening posts are all about.
I'm starting to wonder if the threat of violence is what could be the deciding factor in a close election. It is really becoming blatant now. Even Judges might not be immune.

(8,697 posts)President Biden has been a very good President. No one is perfect but as Joe says, dont measure me against the almighty, measure me against the alternative. He is so much better than the alternative it is stunning but still, there are some shitheads who will say he is not doing enough. I would say, if we do not give him a democratic House and Senate, we are not giving him enough.

(23,021 posts)That's it. So anyone on the Left who does not vote for Biden only helps Trump who just doesn't need to lose but should be beaten badly as well as giving Biden a solidly Democratic House and Senate. If the Left had only just gotten out and voted for Hillary in '16, then Trump never would have happened. But too many on the Left believe themselves to be too righteous and noble to bring themselves to vote for the lesser of a perceived evil. They just justify themselves by voting for a 3rd party candidate.

(24,462 posts)There are other ways, like fomenting violence at polling locations, bringing half-assed lawsuits about election disruptions into friendly courts, appealing some case up to the maga-infested SCOTUS where he can be declared Winner For Life.
Outright winning the election is his most direct path back to power, but it's neither his only path nor his easiest.

Hackers could also play a role in November, creating outages and chaos.
This is a global election.

(37,821 posts)He's a ratings draw. Regardless if he wins or if he loses, the after election ratings will be off the charts.
Personally, I hope the fucker dies. Today would be nice.

(3,880 posts)In order to win, he needs 100% turnout from his wacko cult members and he needs as low a turnout as possible from everyone else. That's why they're doing everything in their power to discourage us. Don't fall for it. They don't have enough votes to win with just their cult members. We outnumber them by a significant margin. If people vote, we win. Full stop.
