Probably the single most depressing thought bouncing around my head these days is that, absent the pandemic, Trump would have won easily. Even with all the Twitter.

Yes, all you #actually's, I am aware of what the polling showed pre-pandemic. I just think the economy would have kept growing, the news cycle would have been more favorable to BS fake scandals, & swing/wavering voters would have "come home."
He only had to make it close -- close enough for the natural R bias of US electoral institutions (and/or, y'know, cheating) to get him over the line. As everyone is saying, Ds have to win by a landslide to actually win, & sans pandemic, I don't think you get a landslide.
And yes, this is absolutely the most important dispute for us to settle here on twitter today. We must keep arguing about it until we come to a consensus. MUST.
