Technically he’s not unopposed, at least not in some states. But no incumbent president has ever done well in the election when he has to campaign in a primary, if he was challenged the most likely outcome would be he’d win the primary but lose the election.

Incumbent presidents who have to campaign in the primaries generally lose the election because they're unpopular. That's why they have to campaign in the first place. The fact that Biden is currently historically unpopular for this point in his term is a sign that maybe he should be getting the LBJ treatment even by liberal standards, but Blue MAGA is going to Blue MAGA and throw the election like it's 2016 all over again.

But he’s not having to campaign in the primary, and he is winning it. So I guess he is popular enough.

It’s ironic that people who dislike Biden so much still don’t know Dean Phillips exists.

Oh well if he's so secure, then I guess it doesn't matter wether we vote for him or not, so withholding the vote is completely fine. Problem solved!

Dean is literally "I'm the same as Biden but younger"... WTF would Communists care about him?

So true! I bet none of these tankies were even aware of of the Policy Proposal: Biden 2025 documents we floated amongst fellow liberals this year.
