Yup rather not show up and let dude with volatile polices come in and do his thing. That's the crazy part is these people didn't even vote third party in protest. They just didn't care. So I guess climate change, trans and abortion right don't matter to 20 million dem voters.
It turns out the talking point of "voting 3rd party is a vote for Trump" that has been repeated for months does have the desired effect of disenfranchisement, the assumption that they would then vote Democrat is something I never understood.
Turns out 15 million people didn't even vote third party. Just stayed home.
All that back and forth was just to keep the GOP out of power and not have a so called dictator day 1. Not sure how that specifically disenfranchised potential dem voters. Cause they weren't going to vote dem anyways. I could list other stuff that certainly could have.
And to add, they could have voted and just not picked a president.
Instead they didn't vote at all and we got a Republican Senate.
