In traditional presidential campaigns, the two major parties offer contrasting ideas and policies. The Democratic and Republican candidates barnstorm the nation to make their cases.
Not this year.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden is more or less a virtual candidate, mostly communicating from home via Zoom. He offers few detailed alternatives to the first four years of the Trump administration.
Instead, Biden is running on the idea that Donald Trump caused the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic recession, and that he's responsible for violence in the streets.
But Biden rarely offers contrasting visions of what he would have done differently than the Trump administration -- or, for that matter, major European countries that are now in worse economic shape and fighting another coronavirus spike.
Even in the final days of the race, Biden is making far fewer campaign appearances than Trump. The challenger is outsourcing to the media his defense against allegations that the Biden family has peddled influence to foreign interests for millions of dollars that were routed into family coffers.
An inert Biden is playing the role of good ol' Joe from Scranton, while his supporters hope to not just change the presidency, but to alter the very rules of how America has been governed for decades and even centuries.
Not long ago, the left favored the Electoral College. California, New York, and Illinois gave Democrats more than 100 automatic Electoral College votes.

I think this is why Biden will lose....he really is not offering a different vision from Trump’s, just Trump is bad and we need anyone else.
This is what happens when your entire party is based on hatred of Trump and his supporters.
Cuba would offset Puerto Rico as a state.
I expect the liberation of Cuba during the second term.
I’m not in favor of either becoming a state. DC can’t become a state.

The three states that President Trump hasn’t a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning and I live in Illinois. I will vote for him anyway, come hell or high water, unless I die before election day, in which case, I’ll vote for Biden.

When did a democrat ever give a rats ass what the Constitution says?
I lived in D.C. 1963-1967 and rats were babbling about D.C. statehood even back then
We actually need every single Trump supporter in every Dem state to get out and vote, so as to take away the “Trump lost the popular vote!” argument from the Democrats.
“He offers few detailed alternatives to the first four years of the Trump administration.”
