Who told you that his "momentum was building"? Who framed his SC win in those very terms for you? That isn't your thought, you didn't come up with it independently, or from talking to voters. You heard it on TV, and it became true.
I get texts or emails from multiple Democrats, including those who are running for election in states that I've never lived in. That's what just about all politicians do and have for most of my adult life. Of course, prior to cell phones and the internet, it was a lot harder to raise money. I rarely open many of my emails, as most of them are either begging me for money, regardless if they are my favorite charities or political campaigns, or scams. A lot of them are scams. Come to think of it, despite never voting for a Republican, once in awhile I get emails from them too. I guess they are hoping, I'm going MAGA. I always unsubscribe to those, if I bother to open them. Nothing new.
It's not just Southerners who Biden appealed to. Most Americans aren't as far to the left as Sanders, but I'm glad to see that Sanders has been supporting Biden and even campaigning for him, despite Biden's unwillingness at this time to totally cut off Israel. At least Sanders knows this time around, that Trump is the threat, not Biden. It's not that I don't support many of the things supported by the Left, like Medicare for all, I just don't think the country has enough support for such things. I hate that we are the so called world's policemen and that we spend so much on our military. But the world depends on us. How do we change that? Biden has accomplished a lot of things that the left supports. In fact, a lot of Democrats feel that he's too far left. Ok. I'm going go off topic again. Sorry. Let me see if I can find some more disinformation so we can get back to the topic.
I agree with the above.
I hope you are right. it all depends on voter turnout and if certain groups understand that a less than perfect president is much better than a psychopathic autocrat.
Most of the world wishes we would buzz off, actually. What American ally in the last fifty years has come off the better for our military interventionism?
My political views are a bit more nuanced than "support the left*, right or wrong", and I wish more people felt the same.
Really? Do you mean on a diplomatic/political level or the people of the rest of the world themselves? Because for all the places I've been around the world, I haven't been met with hardly any animosity. In fact, I've been nothing but impressed by how friendly people outside the United States are toward us. They just wanted to meet someone different, just like I did.
Can it be measured in military adventurism by bad actors around the world that did not happen because the world's cop was standing watch? Absent the US being the world's cop, would other countries feel the need to have a stronger military of their own? Might this in and of itself cause instability? I think Europe's concern over Russia's adventure into Ukraine provides us some evidence. I think Macron's comments about not ruling out boots on the ground in Ukraine provides even more. What might Korea be like without the US? Taiwan? The effects of China's nine-dash line? Putin's
Do you mean that you arrived as an armed soldier invading their country and they were happy to see you? Or do you mean that they were happy to see an American who wasn't there to kill anyone?
Yeah--you can find some edge case where it's true but that's not relevant to the real world. Just like a lot of how MAGAs view society.
