    Plenty of people woke up during 2016-2020. Otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten Biden by a landslide and Dems wouldn’t have won so many other elections. You’ve got Roe v Wade as well which has fired up a lot of people. And despite what the shills would have you believe on social media, nobody is seriously going to allow Trump another shot because of the genocide going on in Gaza because they know that Trump would be far worse on top of the whole Fourth Reich thing.

      I disagree. I wouldn’t call Biden’s last win a landslide. The genocide definitely will make a significant number of people apathetic and stay home (according to polls, Biden lost 11% favorability over this). Not many people are going to be excited about encouraging other people to vote for Biden either. The Muslim vote is important in the key state of Michigan; and Biden’s a very hard sell to Muslims right now. Though, it’s still very early to make predictions right now. There’s a non-zero chance one of the presidential candidates will die before the election, lol.
