Sorry if I wasn't clear. My point is, I do not believe you can compel people to vote at all based on 'Trump bad'. They'll just stay home. I am not including people who regularly vote. If you want to get people in line to vote, there needs to be a more compelling candidate.

It sounds like we'll both find out who's right in Nov.

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016.

And he lost to Biden in 2020, because people saw that he sucked.

2024 is not comparable to 2016. It's comparable to 2020, in the sense that most Americans do not want Trump. They will not stay at home.

Switching candidates now is very risky.

And this is coming from someone who would have preferred Bernie Sanders to face Trump in 2016 and in 2020.
