There are 3 or 4 independent candidates out there. How's that going for you?

As bad as Biden is, I’ll guarantee there are way less dems who will be voting for trump than pubs who will vote for Biden.

Poorly

Didn’t Biden run on brining everyone together and being more in the middle? He clearly lied so why would we trust any other politician at this point.

He basically ran on not being Trump. And won.

I don't think that will work this time. He's simply not electable. An unknown would do a lot better because what Biden is known for does not work in his favor.

The Independents are not together as a party. Hence the term "independent." They have no chance. But that doesn't mean people aren't fed up. It just means that they have no sway.

He also said he'd be more in the middle, voters won't be fooled again. That being said I still believe this election would be a landslide if the republican party threw anyone else out there. I just don't see Tump getting any independent votes so its going to be a lot closer then is should be

It would be! Literally ANYONE else!!

And the same is true for the Democrats!! They'd win in a landslide if it was someone other than Biden. But it won't be.

I don’t think anyone is fooled but I still think he can win because he’s not trump. As you mentioned independents aren’t voting for trump. Trump will of course have his base but I’m not sure who else.

I love when people come on here and spout total nonsense with no data to back them.

Trump leads indies by 10+ percentage points - in head-to-head, or when the other candidates are included:

Up 6 points in both these:

Plus, Trump receives record support among groups Biden needs to win re-election. Compared to the final Fox News pre-election matchup in October 2020, Trump has made gains among independents (up 21 points), Blacks (+15), Hispanics (+13), suburban voters (+8), and men (+4).

Polls are wrong more often than not, I don’t take much stock in them, especially when common sense says otherwise and when it’s 10 months out. Hilary was going to win in a landslide and trump was going to win in 20

See New Hampshire indepent voting tonight to have a clue as to how independents actually think about trump.

Oh and by the way it wasn’t out of nowhere. I know it’s difficult for you to read things that aren’t from your narrative, but this was posted earlier:

Although like I said, I just shrug at polls. They are wrong all the time
