        I’m not American. Could you elaborate? Is this your personal experience as part of said demographic(s)? I understand if you don’t wish to disclose that. I’m just curious as this election will affect me nonetheless.

          Not American either, but the stats are clear that these two particular demographics are not okay with the current situation.

            But — but surely they recognise Trump supports them even less? Apathy overpowering self-preservation is exactly what they want.

              It’s a bit of a lose-lose situation. Vote and you tell the democrats that you’re fine with the bullshit they’ve been up to the last four years, including nominating a candidate without a primary. Don’t vote and, well, you get Trump. Now logically it might make more sense to vote anyway, but these things don’t follow logic except very roughly.
