There should be no competition at all between these two. And if it weren’t for the complete fucking idiots that live here, it would be a landslide victory for common sense.
A morally bankrupt 34 times over felon/sex offender vs a provenly educated and effective woman with a clean track record and a good history of being on the right side of issues….
This shit be a no-brainer.
That we’re even here is NOT a good thing.
I agree and feel like I'm taking the same crazy pills I was on back in 2015-16. Shouldn't even be a game with odds worth tuning in for, it should be a landslide. I remember how angry I was at the non-voting suckers back then. This time around, if you don't vote, you better have a doctor's note--considering the road we could end up going down.
Genuinely wondering, but I’m in a completely blue state. What’s the point of voting for the presidency where I live?
Obviously if I were in a swing state or red state I’d vote though, to be clear.
By helping reinforce downstream ballot races too. Things start at a local level, look at what school boards and local judges are doing. But besides that it helps show numbers on a national level. Yea the electoral college still decides things but a large popular vote starts making a case against it especially if the electoral college is “close” in numbers.
