Hey there, folks! It’s election time again and you know what that means – it’s time for some good ol’ fashioned political drama! But hold onto your hats, because this year’s campaign is shaping up to be a doozy.
Now, when it comes to the Democratic side of the aisle, there’s one thing we need to address right off the bat: Where are all the challengers? That’s right, despite some serious concerns about Joe Biden’s age (let’s just say he remembers when televisions had knobs), nobody seems to be stepping up to the plate to take him on.
I mean, come on, Democrats, are you telling me that you can’t find someone younger than Betty White who is also qualified to run for office? Talk about a lack of imagination.
But hey, I guess when you win more races than expected in the midterm elections, it’s easy to get complacent. And let’s be real here, who wouldn’t want to just sit back, relax, and watch the world burn for a little while?
Of course, one person who isn’t content to just sit back is our old friend Donald J. Trump. That’s right, folks, he’s back and he’s ready to make the Democrats sweat like James Comey in a sauna.
But here’s the thing – Trump may be a lot of things (most of them not great), but he’s also proven to be a unifying force for the Democratic party. Because let’s face it, when faced with the prospect of another four years of that guy, even the most disparate of Democrats can put aside their differences and band together like a group of Avengers facing off against Thanos.
And let’s not forget about the power of incumbency. Being in the White House gives Biden a heck of a advantage over any potential challengers. I mean, he probably has a butler who can fetch him the nuclear codes like it’s a cup of tea.
So there you have it, folks. A lack of challengers, a potential one-man wrecking crew, and an incumbent with all the advantages. It’s shaping up to be a real nail-biter of an election. Just don’t bite your nails too low, or else you’ll end up looking like Mitch McConnell’s turtle neck.
