Anyone who wants to avoid Trump winning the election really needs to stop demanding complacency from the Dems. They need people to hold their noses and vote and all they can do is reassure everyone it’s in the bag. Have they just forgotten 2016 or something?
I’m not complacent, at all. This is going to be a close election and everyone needs to vote even if they have to hold their nose.
I’m simply reacting to the “Biden is d00med” sentiment that is currently popular online. That can depress turnout and make it more difficult for Biden to win.
What depresses turnout, when the choices are so dismal, is telling people that all the warning signs mean nothing. It’s not so much forgetting about 2016 as absolutely refusing to learn the lessons of 2016. I don’t get it, I just don’t get it.
Hey everyone else. Trump has a real prospect of winning. The Dems are, at best, useless but you’re going to have to hold your nose and vote: just make sure you have a plan for holding their feet to the fire afterwards.
Biden gets 80% of the vote in the Michigan primary.
Trump gets 66% of the vote in the Michigan primary.
Media: Major rebuke to Biden! It could make him lose Michigan in the general!
You’re mixing up the Democratic and Republican primaries. Trump was running against Haley whereas Biden was unopposed.
So Biden supporters had even less reason to show up and vote for him than Trump supporters. Thus underestimating Biden support.
Whereas protest voters had more reason to show up to nonvote against Biden.

Trump appears to have gotten a lower percentage of the vote on the republican side. So, it looks like not-trump, red side.
Exactly, thus overestimating their prevalence.

They’re muddying the waters.
Look at this asshole commenter here… making Dean Phillips cry. What a meanie!
And I bet most of those who voted against Biden would vote for Biden because it’s about democracy.
