It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

    He won the popular vote by a smaller percentage of votes cast than Hillary and the Dem candidate winning the sub-45yo vote is pretty much a given. In most elections, it would be by much more.

    As for the 65+ group, a lot of fascists and people who don’t consider fascism more of a deal breaker than a (D) behind a name are aging into that group, perhaps as many as are dying off.

    And no, I’m not assuming anything. I’m pointing out that there’s a big risk of the pro-democracy candidate losing if he and the rest of the DNC don’t stop thinking that “Not Trump” is enough and start listening to what the public wants.

      I don’t know how to explain to you that you just agreed with me.

      You agree that young people vote dem

      You agree old people are dying off

      But you think Dems will be held accountable by voters by electing a worse candidate for them just to spite the Dems? .

      People will take the best option they are provided and 2020 had the highest voter turnout since 1900 for sleepy creepy Joe.

        You obviously have a lot more faith in the rationality of voters than I do, in spite of the whole gestures at entire world thing.

        In stead of pointing out details, I’m just gonna hope that your faith will be rewarded in a little under 11 months and wish you a nice day.
