I think that is an assumption because when you are down to 2 candidates only things change, all the Biden supporters (and others that already dropped) probably wont stay home and not vote. But who knows?
>I think that, outside of his own base, it was pretty clear to voters that Sanders was making promises that he'd never be able to get past Congress. They likely wouldn't have voted for Sanders in the general election
If the Senate goes blue after this election who knows. He was making large promises (they all do, where is our wall that Mexico is paying for as an example), but I think overall people now realize affordable healthcare is a bigger deal than people realize. I am curious what will happen if medical bills for COVID start getting mailed out prior to election day. 40k for treatment will break a lot of individuals and family's.
I'm not on one side of the fence or the other. I think they all have good and bad things about them and think none of the candidates are good for the country in the long run. My original post was merely to say I do not believe Biden beats Trump.
