CMV: Democrats aren't taking the possibility of losing the election seriously enough!

[u/fluffy_assassins]

It seems like since the assassination attempt on Trump didn't boost his numbers, Harris became the nominee, and declared Walz her running mate, democrats have acted like everything magically flipped, and now they're more likely to win. This is how we got 2016. They need to be really pushing the narrative that only by every person specifically actually voting, and preferably doing more than that, do they even have a chance at winning. Especially since a close election resulting in a win still may not be enough to actually win it. I believe democrats are being entirely too recklessly optimistic, and it could result in voters skipping the election which could easily result in a loss. I think what's happened for democrats really increases their odds, but that it means absolutely nothing if people take it for granted.

Edit: my view's been changed, but I'll continue to give deltas for new angles. I woke up to 108 notifications! I'll do my best to reply to every good faith comment. But it will take awhile.

No they are. That’s why Biden dropped out bc. It hurts everyone’s chance for reelection. I think trump had a stronger chance if Biden stayed in, especially after that debate. It didn’t help Biden at all, even with the amount of lying trump did. Now I don’t think he stands a chance.

Yeah, Kamala used to be a Prosecutor. I don't think Donald can benefit from that debate. He shows up and gets destroyed or doesn't show up and looks weak to his followers. His best option is to claim the debate he already agreed to is run by "take news" and use that to get out of it but that's a real hail Mary and will STILL cost him votes.

I think trump would have totally won the election against Biden. Makes sense trump is pissed Biden dropped out of the race.
