I get the sentiment, and I would vote for AOC if I were in New York, but yeah... this election feels like a foregone conclusion.
Inb4: "A lot can happen in four months, you don't know for sure." blah blah blah
I don't live in the USA but people in our media say it too.
I don't understand it though: are there people that voted for Biden last time that will now vote for Trump, even though he is now a convicted felon, and tried to steal the election?
Or is it just that everyone thinks that people won't come out to vote for Biden?
Can you help me understand?
It's a little bit of both. You have your hardcore Republicans and Democrats who will always vote for their party and a lot of independents who who are just barely paying attention and vote for "the one I'd have a beer with". There's also the situation in Gaza that has people voting 3rd party to protest Biden's handling of the situation even though it'll be much worse with Trump.
A lot of others can't be bothered to vote unless it's someone they're excited to vote for like we had with Obama.
