Not the US as a whole,but Michigan (with it's high Muslim population) in particular.  Biden may well have lost that vote, and it might cost him.

I'm under no illusion that Trump would be better.  And this is largely why I'll be voting (again) for Stein: the only candidate to explicitly call this shit a genocide.

Not sure about that.  Inflation and (in Michigan particularly) genocide are his electoral issues.  Short of standing aside for one of The Squad, not sure any fresh faces would have handled either of these issues differently.

I think you're overestimating the effects of Gaza inside the US. Especially as Trump is even worse.

Russia invaded Ukraine,end off! Where all the Russian cheerleaders come out off?. All these smaller countries want to join  NATO excately because of aggression from their bully boy neighbour. Ask any Polish person living in Ireland what they think of Russia.To them they been under threat from Russia for yrs. Naturally NATO could do without any of these smaller countries, they provide little benefit, but they want the support of bigger countries like France and Germany, due to the previous history of the way communist Russia behaves.

The people donating were always going to vote for him.  So this doesn't change anything for them.  What matters is how it affects swing voters in 5 or 6 competitive states.

Which is where Biden's pride is going to screw the country. Had he stood aside, the Dems would have a fresh face on the ballot and Trump would either have been jettisoned too or would be staring at a hammering.

Trump found guilty

Some piece of work. No question he's the worst president in the history of United states of America.

Yet, with the current state of the world, he's a good bet to double down on that. We could be in for a dark next five years.

Yet all the war started after he left office??

Not sure where you've been but the US have been involved directly or indirectly in hundreds of wars for many decades

Living under a rock he's been?  and within the first two years of Trumps administration, Trump launched far more drone and lethal strikes than Obama in his full term.

Will this be the starting team though...

Emmet Bradley not be wing back anyway

Might be the starting players, but yeah I can't see bradley at wind back.
Couple of players on the bench there that I'd heard had dropped off the panel...so might have heard wrong OR this is a made up team sheet.

Trumps donation websites crashing due to traffic on them. If he's still allowed to run in November today has just won him the Presidency

He tried to steal an election and attempted a coup. He was found guilty of sexual assault in civil court. He has courted the support of violent right wing extremists in a presidential debate. What's a little felony falsification of business records to hide a payoff to a pornstar?
