Let's not forget about those who do not vote.
The 2000 election hinged on Florida and hanging chads.
After 8 years of the "Cheney administration", "hope and change" denied Hillary Clinton the nomination, and Democrats regained control of Congress two years later. The change was less than stellar, but people still had hope.
By 2016, after Republicans had blocked Merrick Garland's appointment to the SCOTUS, Democratic superdelegates were all in for Hillary from the get go, but momentum favored Bernie Sanders. Why not place some blame there?
Hillary was status quo, as were the likes of Jeb Bush. Voters were still hungry for change, and Trump's messaging struck a chord. What a sad commentary on the state of American politics at the highest level.
Perhaps, Biden should have followed LBJ and stepped aside as a "transitional" candidate. One thing is for sure, if Trump survives the Republican convention, this election will be a watershed event in America's history.
Isn't it ironic that Liz Cheney has been ostracized while Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio kiss the ring?
Maybe we should be placing more emphasis on neutralizing people like Matt Gaetz, Loren Bobert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tom Cotton, and Jim Jordan, et al.
