    When the only reason people have to vote for someone is so the other guy doesn’t win, voter turnout will be down.

    Turnout in 2020 was the highest in years, decades even, so this isn’t true at all. People showed up mainly to vote against Trump. I was one of them.

      The mood was very different due to the pan. We didn’t have a vax. People were dying. Trump’s admin were arresting protestors without uniforms or IDs. Things were scary. It’s not the same mood.

      Fuck Biden and fuck dems for letting him run. We need real progressive change and he’s risking fascism.

      Probably because of the pandemic, so they had nothing else to do.
