    True, but remember “did not vote” was higher then either Hillary or Trump first time around.

    I was apathetic in 2016, I didn’t care enough to vote for her, or know enough to vote against Trump.

    I voted against Trump on 2020, and now I’ve seen enough I will vote for Biden in 2024, assuming he is the nominee. Otherwise, it’s another vote against Trump.

    My point is, there was a real disconnect back in 2016, and a lot of people just couldn’t be bothered.

    Trumps base has only gotten smaller, but the people who know and want to keep him out has grown. I suspect we will see both significant turn out, and significant voter suppression in 2024.

        What is Biden planning to do about the environment?

          Believing that we need to switch courses is a good first step. The other thing is that the policies he managed to get passed are moving geothermal in the right direction. I heard for the first time about ground source heat pumps because of his incentives for their installation.

          There’s also funding for public transit, charging infrastructure for EVs, sunsetting incandescents, etc. It’s not perfect but it’s better than some asshole up there saying how the whole thing is a Chinese hoax and chanting drill baby drill.

      …didn’t Trump get more votes in 2020 than in 2016? Has his base really gotten smaller?

        Smaller as a percentage of the active electorate. Biden also got more votes than any other candidate before him… but that’s not unexpected with a positive population growth.
