      Hopefully enough others will vote anyway out of a sense of duty, but non-enthusiastic energy for a candidate will keep some people from going out to vote at all. That is actually a third default choice that takes no energy to do.

          I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. If you told me to swim through a pit of jellyfish to keep Trump away from the White House, I would swim through the fucking jellyfish.

          Others may not, and Biden may lose without them.

        I’ve made this point here in the past. It’s a solid point. Wish it didn’t lead to down votes.

        If a person isn’t well off, has poor ballot situations and a kid to tend to… their enthusiasm matters when that next logistical hurdle appears on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
