These are just polls, so vote!

Hopefully these trends will inspire people in states that have been consistently red that a flip this election is possible!

      If all these leftists that don’t vote in protest actually voted, it’d be over. Not just this election, for decades. It would have been a wildly different history.

        Singer of my band in 2000,

        “well if my green party vote gets a Republican elected, the pendulum swings further right which forces the left to activate,”

        surprised Pikachu at GOP stealing election,

        status quo shifts right in all levels of the courts for quarter century,

        leftists learn Gaza exists,

        rinse, repeat

        Gee, if only there were some way to get them excited to vote. Moving to the right hasn’t worked and neither has shouting abuse at them, so I guess nothing will make them happy.

          Gee if only they could think about how their vote would move the Overton window.

          But you just said, they rely on their feeeeelllliinngggs. Guess they aren’t so logical huh.

            Kamala’s groundswell of support is proof that listening, not demanding, generates enthusiasm. You choose not to pay attention because you don’t want the party moving to the left, regardless of what they could gain by doing so.

              Is her groundswell of support coming from the left, or from the center? It’s from the center, who yes rely on impression and feelings and energy.

              I’m talking about this supposed logical leftist voter, who thinks logically, because they are so logical, and they will logically not vote in protest, and you are saying this supposed logical left actually relies on feeeelllinngss, then they are not so fucking logical then are they?

              Who said I don’t want the party to move left? Nice (fake) jab.

                Politics isn’t a logical endeavor. All political positions are based on assumptions that are feelings based. Conservatives feel that hierarchy is important, leftest value equality.

                Nobody prefers equality over hierarchy because they did the homework.

                A person who wanted to make all of their decisions based on logic and reason would be paralyzed and incompetent.

        That too. My buddy is still angry not voting even after 2016. Because he’s still pissed about the two party system. Fair, but you’re not fixing anything.

          What a fool. Anyone not voting has no voice and has no right to complain. Nobody will pay attention to them because they offer no action. At that point they may as well be a foreign citizen for the amount of power they hold in the US elections.
