Just spoke to my mom who is a centrist liberal and never talks to me about politics. she said “I don’t think I’m going to be voting. I feel sick to my stomach about both these two.”
Two of the easiest elections in the history of this country and the dems just blew em both.
The amount of voter suppression in key states is genuinely disturbing to me. I don't know why people are voting early- wouldn't it be easier to count them later (ie, let the media decide who wins based on 'Irl' voting).
Counterpoint as mentioned by Chapo is the idea that the military elite/CIA/Deep State thought they could 'endure' Trump, but he wasn't nearly as keen to keep the wheels moving overseas. So whatever control they have they'll probably utilise it. I don't imagine Fox etc NOT calling the election early/forcing all other media stations to fall in line 2000 style.
I watched 2016 live out of pure curiosity, but 2020 will genuinely be must watch tv. So much important shit will happen so quickly, as opposed to 2016 where both HRC fucking bailed on her convention and Trump arrived late af to his convention.
