    2024 is going to be a repeat of 2020. The question is whether voters turn out for Biden or Trump.

    What have american voters learned?

      It’s also about the laws and structure in place. If the right people and laws are in place, they could further undermine the election process and only allow some of the voters who would vote for Biden. Many R-controlled states have been working on this for years. Have they been successful enough?

        intensely so; top tier politicians in texas and florida publicly state that their version of voter suppression is the only reason why they keep winning elections on tv, radio and internet.

        it also works because the centrists/moderates only shake their head in disgust when it happens and do nothing else. martin luther king defined the phenomena best:

        the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”

      The question is whether voters turn out for against Biden or Trump.

      Nobody in America votes for anyone any more.
