Polls have also shown Biden’s support slipping among Black and ethnic minority voters, who helped drive his 2020 election win against Trump.
Analysts say Biden’s best hope now is a simple but quite specific number: that wages continue to rise faster than prices as they have done since April of last year, allowing consumers to feel that their wallets are fuller.
First they came for the communists… Condoning genocide along with Biden allows for future atrocities. What happened to ‘push him left?’
it was a lie. that day never came because there’s only one reliable mechanism to do it and it’s the one we’re told decade after decade we aren’t allowed to use, vote for someone else
Yup in a binary choice picking the pointless third option is the secret. Reality hates this one simple trick.
if everyone did it we’d win
No, no you misheard it’s actually “slowly go further right or else the right might win”.
Why eventually if you keep voting for the lesser of two evils enough, we’ll have made so many small turns to the right that we’ve come full circle and end up on the left.
It’s genius really, vote blue no matter what and we won’t end up in a situation like this where the Overton window is so shifted to the right that people like Trump can win an election.
At the end of the day as long as “nothing would fundamentally change“ you’ll be on track to fixing this mess.
The obvious answer is ranked voting. But that’s another discussion
It’s an improvement, but without an educated and politically engaged public it doesn’t make much of a difference.
People would be more engaged if they felt their vote mattered.
