Roughly half of those interviewed, including Ms. Gilman, said that in a Biden-Trump matchup, they would side with the Republican, while expressing varying degrees of discomfort. That number would almost certainly be higher in the actual results of the general election, after Americans have retreated further into partisan corners.

    Probably vote for him. We’ve seen how spineless Republicans are enough times to see the pattern.

        Some will without question. Few people, be it Democrat or Republican, will vote outside of their party leaning but many people will simply not vote or throw their vote towards some obscure candidate.

      Aren’t the Dems voting against Biden in the primaries, ‘to send a message’, pretty much the same thing?

        It’s similar except democratic voters aren’t fucking crazy.

        It’s not to send a message, its to keep an insurrectionist criminal grifter out of office. In 2016 plenty of independents and progressives didn’t turn out for Hillary, that was to “send a message”, but nobody realized how weak our system was against a wannabe Putin and it’s even weaker now since there are apparently no major repercussions for the leader of the free world trying to steal an election.
