    The problem is that beating/ guilting/ shaming voters doesn’t work. It literally never has. Its been demonstrated, over and over again to be a counterproductive strategy.

    Ah yes, the evidence of that being [checks notes] Hillary, a notoriously unpopular and uncharismatic politician, narrowly losing due to the electoral college.

    I guess people in 2020 were just REALLY fired up about Biden, huh?

      They were really fired up AGAINST Trump.

      Its 4 years later.

      In terms of the policy position that is going to decide this election, they have the same policy: Genocide for the people of Palestine.

      You should stop being an apologist for genocide.

        They were really fired up AGAINST Trump.

        That sounds almost like guilt or shame at the prospect of letting Trump win.

        In terms of the policy position that is going to decide this election

        Fucking lmao

      She didn’t lose narrowly because of the electoral college.

      She lost massively because even knowing the rules of the election didn’t campaign at all in the Midwest swing States while receiving increasingly alarmed warnings from the local DNC members in those States.

      Your response is like a loser going ‘I wouldn’t have lost if it wasn’t for the rules’ when everyone knew the rules in advance.

      You can argue for getting rid of the electoral college and if be right there with you. But you don’t get to pretend it’s not a thing when trying to win before you get rid of it.
