To elaborate, COVID-19 was absolutely impossible to ignore. It made everyone feel miserable, and it got them to turn out to vote for Biden.

This year? No such disaster shoving its way into people's lives. Out of sight, out of mind.

I don't think Lemmy people grasp how insulated/isolated most 'swing' or 'sometimes' voters are. They know tiny nuggets of politics that are fed to them through social feeds or whatever, and COVID-19 was like a bulldozer mowing through their house. Ironically, it got people active.

Its going to be interesting seeing the Republicans do their batshit policies, as people REALLY hate having their bottle taken away ("bottle" in this case being the ACA, prices of goods, abortion access, etc.)

The United States just needs a reminder of just how bad things can be. They'll learn if you keep hitting them hard enough...
