Trump does still lead in our national average — however narrowly. But the bigger problem for Biden though is that elections in the United States aren’t determined by the popular vote.
That’s a problem for all of us. If the president were elected by popular vote, Trump would never have been president.
Neither would George W. Bush. Republicans have won the popular vote only once in the last 32 years, and that was Bush as the incumbent in 2004 - which wouldn’t have happened had Gore been the incumbent.
This is a center-left country, with an election system that gives extreme right-wingers oversized influence.
The left is larger than the right, here. How does that make it not a center-left country? We’re sure as hell not a right-wing country, and much of our government is an accident of antiquated and stupid systems, not a true reflection of the people.
Presumably in much the same way that toddlers can’t win a high school scholar bowl. Just because one side or type of idea is a clear winner doesn’t mean it’s not a fair system.

This far from being a left center country.

Those that think they are on the left is larger. When they support politicians viewed around the world as right wing, they too are right wing
Well if the right can’t win how would that be a fair system?
Fuck, sarcasm is lost on this crowd.

I wish I could play little league now, I’d kick ass.
They’re not a troll, they’re just being sarcastic.
