    In swing states you certainly have a point.

    In a state that is deeply one colour or the other, you don’t need every vote.

      What I’m saying is that the set of swing states might be different this year than it has typically been in the past. There’s some very good reasons for people who usually vote Republican to vote otherwise this election. There’s a vocal subset of the party and the mass media seems to be trying to push a narrative that Trump has a good chance, but they might not have support from the usual voters who are mostly staying quiet because they know as well as everyone else that there’s no benefit from trying to reason with them.

      There’s a chance that they might discover during this election just why the quiet parts were previously kept quiet. And saying them on platforms that won’t try to shut them up with lots of simps eating it up doesn’t mean society has accepted that worldview.

        Personally, delusion in democracy doesn’t stop me voting, but it does depressing me when the result is announced and hindsight confirms it’s value.

          Every time I try to ask anti-Biden people where they live so I can suggest what to do in their local races, they ghost me.

          Probably because there’s no good candidates running in Novgorod.

            I’ve not mentioned Biden.

            Is the “your vote counts” message just as strong for your local races? I suspect not.
