Agreed. It's about 35%. And I think those infuriated by Trump will be equally motivated. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 12:56
They have money, lots of money, they have the bulk of media, police even in liberal areas, they are organized, they have guns -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:44 1
- Yes. to all of that. And unless they are going to rig the machines, they still can't stop the Democratic Voting process. - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 12:48
It’s generally put at 37% in most polling. So yeah, definitely not half the country. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 12:30 1
- And that's 37% of voters. So significantly less than 50% -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 13:12
This is the problem with reducing things to a binary. It makes each side seem equal in significance. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 12:22
I won't quibble over the numbers. It could be 40%, maybe slightly lower. Suffice to say "a sizable portion" -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:22 10
- I hear you. What is the impact on election. If our country elects a facist criminal then what are we even doing? - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 12:33 9
  - Unfortunately because people are inherently lazy and stupid. Too lazy to vote and too stupid to realize what happens if they don't. - sycor Aug 3, 12:46 8
    - Biden getting old is the bigger problem than Trump in jail. Democrats are holding on to the incumbent always has more sway. - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 12:51 7
      - Biden getting old is not a problem for me personally. It’s the reason why we have a Vice President. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 13:17 1
        
        honestly not me either. But it clearly another attack issue by the GOP that has credence. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 13:53
      - Newsom is the heir apparent. Whitmer could make waves too. -- nm* - Fuzzy Aug 3, 13:06 1
        
        Thank you for this. I was racking my brain. who? who could it be. I'd campaign hard for Whitmer. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 13:18
      - No one knew Obama was "in the wings" until he started winning primaries. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 12:53 2
        
        I do think the party could do more to highlight up and coming politicians. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 13:01 1
        
        Agreed -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 13:04
Yup. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 3, 12:21
