    100 million voters don’t vote. Most know all of that that you listed and they still won’t take the time to vote. How else would you motivate them?

      Prediction:

      The number of non-voters will go UP in 2024 compared to 2020 due to not pressing as hard on vote by mail.

        Prediction: people are also tired of Biden; and Trump has had 4 years to retcon his bullshit and get less-psychotic republicans inline with shit like “Jan 6 wasn’t an insurrection”

        Biden is going to have an extremely tough fight on his hands.

        People have been saying this for years, too. The DNC doesn’t care.

        People can scream and howl at the moon all they want. I’ll be voting for Biden even if I resent him… won’t change that he’s loosing votes fast.

          People SAY they aren’t voting Biden now, but when it comes down to the election and Trump still hasn’t faced a criminal charge and the only person blocking him from office is Biden? They’ll vote.

          All the Muslims in Michigan doing protest voting, you really think they want this guy back in office?

          https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/17/trump-muslim-ban-gaza-refugees

          Now, Biden will have to REMIND everyone what the alternative is, but the choice couldn’t be clearer.

              Yeah, but Hillary was an idiot, insulting coal miners which lost her PA, “Son of Scranton” Biden won’t do that.

              She also blew off Michigan and Wisconsin, which I doubt Biden will do either.

            See that attitude is why we will never get true change

              Attitude doesn’t matter unless:

              a) We get rid of the electoral college and, man, are we CLOSE…

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

              b) We get rid of first past the post elections and move to ranked choice voting.

              https://ballotpedia.org/Ranked-choice_voting_(RCV)#Where_is_RCV_used

              That is what will cause change.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
