Eh, I could live in one of the ~45 states where we already know what the result is…
Everybody wants to act like we don’t know what votes mean these days. The sad truth is if you’re not in a battleground, it doesn’t matter who you vote for as president.
Even 08 Obama that flipped a bunch of states, he already had it in the bag without them.
Good thing there’s more than just a presidential race, then. In fact, you can vote in non-presidential races every year (depending on local elections). At the very least every two.
Yeah, battleground states are important in presidential races… but every state matters in congressional and state/local races.
Yep, there’s even elections in non presidential years!
What’s unfortunate is with a Dem presidential candidate like Biden that people aren’t excited about, is it makes the down ballot races less likely to win in red states. 08 Obama was fucking huge in that respect, and I’m feeling old now that it’s apparently ancient history and no one remember.
Hell, even just 2020 there was that effect because people wanted trump gone and Biden was still an unknown to most Dems nationwide.
Lots of people believed last primary and the promised Biden made.

It’s hard to get that goodwill back from voters.
Agreed. Most of these people don’t understand lots of people still remember the ways Democrats fucked us over during Obama’s term.
And more.
