This election will be won at the margins. Shit like this matters. Our task is to stoke their discontentment.
Independents will be so important
So will the extreme left.
They seem to have this idea that holding their vote for Biden hostage over Israel is morally just in spite of a mountain of evidence that tells us violence within this country against minorities, women, and lgbtq folks (which is already openly on the rise) will sky rocket if Trump wins....oh and all the authoritarian fascist stuff that is straight out of a dictator playbook when seizing power with no intent to ever relinquish it.....but nevermind that.
I agree leftists will be important but there are just more is the independents. A lot of those leftists are young (ie: people who rarely vote anyway)
So like every other election: A couple thousand people in some county in PA or MI you've never heard of will decide the presidency, regardless of what most people want.
Yes. “Democracy”. My only dispute with your statement is that it’s a few tens of thousands of votes.
Tens of thousands?! That's a landslide!
