Biden got like less than 1% in the Dem primaries in 2008. Didn’t matter once Obama picked him for VP.

So any righties pointing to Kamala’s primary performance really don’t know what they’re talking about. Big shocker.


Anyone that cares about the outcomes of an election is ridiculous. Over time it all averages out. It makes no difference to me who wins. Over 1000 years it will all balance out.

I like the way you think.

Doesn't matter. Different factors at play now.
.


Nope. People have written books
on how the primaries are the
most important part of the
election process. How you do
in them is the only 'poll' that
counts till the election.

For instance, Biden came in 5th
in NH. Nobody has ever won
the presidency coming in 5th
in NH. Kamal-Toe's internal
polling was so dismal she
dropped out before the
primaries even started. Her
unlikability factor was off the
charts.

And then there's Trump. Nobody
talks about him shattering
past voter turnout records for
incumbents. And they don't have
to vote, he's the only one on
the ticket. But they turned out
in record numbers giving Trump
a win nobody has ever seen for an
incumbent. For instance, he
got 3 times the votes in NH
that Obama got in 2012.

“I don’t remember any uncontested primary campaign for a sitting president like this,” Stony Brook University professor Helmut Norpoth told The Post. “People don’t normally turn out in large numbers for a race without a challenger. In 23 of the 27 states that held primaries both this year and in 2012, when President Obama ran for re-election, Trump has racked up higher raw vote totals than Obama did — often doubling or tripling his predecessor’s numbers. His primary vote totals also beat President George W. Bush’s in 2004.

Some of the numbers are staggering.
Like GA, where Trump got over
4 times the votes Obama got in
12. Why did people turn out when
they didn't have to? Why do you
think. So when people say the
primaries don't matter, they're
actually about the only thing
before the election that do matter.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Carter didn't trust anybody but
himself to make good decisions.
He had to micromanage every
aspect of his presidency because
he thought he was the only capable
person in his admin. Worst president
ever.

The Great Famine started with bad weather in spring 1315. Crop failures lasted through 1316 until the summer harvest in 1317, and Europe did not fully recover until 1322. Crop failures were not the only problem; cattle murrains caused sheep and cattle numbers to fall as much as 80%. The period was marked by extreme levels of crime, disease, mass death, and even cannibalism and infanticide. The story of "Hansel and Gretel" resulted from children being abandoned in the Great Famine

The Great Famine was followed by the Black Death which peaked in Europe from 1347 to 1351. The Black Death was the deadliest pandemic recorded in human history. The Black Death resulted in the deaths of up to 75–200 million and killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population. Fortunately, the period of suffering was usually months instead of years like the Great Famine.

Leaving natural causes of deaths and moving to wars and conquests, these resulted in the highest number of deaths in the last millenium
  1. World War II 60,000,000 - 118,357,000 from 1939-1945
  2. Mongol conquests 30,000,000 - 57,000,000 from 1206 -1405
  3. European colonization of the Americas 8,400,000 - 138,000,000 from 1492 - 1691
  4. Taiping Rebellion 10,000,000 - 100,000,000 from 1851 - 1864
  5. Ming to Qing 25,000,000 from 1618 - 1683
  6. Second Sino-Japanese War 20,000,000 - 25,000,000 from 1937 - 1945
  7. World War I 17,500,000 - 40,000,000 from 1914 -1918

From the above examples, 1000 years certainly balances out a lot of things. Europeans only started repeatable voyages to the Western Hemisphere 528 years ago.

It's been 244 years since the Declaration of Independence. Any takers on the US existing for 1000 years?

The USA will not exist in 50 years. Mankind will go extinct in 1000.
