Voter turnout is low on both sides. In your lame battleground states it’s especially republicans who don’t vote. If tomorrow you’ll have election with a 100% turnout, trump will win.
Oh, and he is wanted. By like half of the country. You better get used to it. Or are you against democracy?

Yeah it’s a funny sign but ultimately useless. People who have lived through the last nearly decade dominated by Trump who still aren’t voting are either so disengaged that they just don’t see fighting Trump as an existential crisis or (and this is a much smaller group) see the system as so inherently fucked that they’re just not partaking in it.
But maybe nobody cares for analysis ruining a perfectly funny lawn sign.
(Disclaimer: these are just my thoughts on non voters, not my own position. I will be voting, and not for a racist, rapist, fascist)
Generally, the more people vote, the more republicans lose. “Get out the vote” is an anti-republican message in effect, which republicans know and it’s why they try to stop people from voting.
Instead of, you know, being electable.

Right now, it’s more like:
“Here are my qualities, what I believe in (with a whole website page dedicated to my policies), my experience as a prosecutor, and why the other side is just plain not fit for office.”
Which, again, in a sane world, is really just one choice. This, quite frankly, is the only real bullet in the “both sides are the same” argument.
I’m not saying Harris isn’t qualified; she clearly is.
What I’m saying is that the Republicans have had years of making their base into good little soldiers that will vote R simply because they aren’t D.
These mouth breathers only see the letter after the name. I can’t tell you the number of times that voters came up to me when I was a poll worker and ask me who the “Republicans” were in a local election where the candidates can’t have party affiliations.
Why yes, these were often elderly voters. What made you guess that?
Except, they are all unwanted. Two choices isn’t choice.
Yes, and also it’s still the case not voting for the candidate you prefer (not like, prefer) over the other, makes it more likely for the other to win.
The voting system is super-duper flawed, but you don’t win by not playing.
It doesn’t matter which one I prefer. They will both run the country into the ground. The decisions are made at a much higher level than the presidency.
Then you are willfully ignoring the powers that your government has.
You’re not wrong to say it’s all being influenced to the point of almost total control by the people with the money, but it’s not correct to say that both parties are equivalent and will pursue the same policies. Or that voting makes no difference.
It absolutely does matter, and you’re either being disingenuous, or getting high on some copium.
Please go vote, Jesus
Yes, I vote for Jesus.
Don’t want either candidate. I’m simply saving my time from endless hours of mulling over which ‘might’ be less bad to vote in an election where 99.99%+ chance it wouldn’t matter anyway.
If it takes you hours to figure out which candidate is worse for america you are really fucking stupid.
Says the kind of person that believes everything they see and hear on the internet and chooses to not investigate claims. Or you’re just a commie that doesn’t know better. Both of them are bad for America.
Oh you’re not an idiot or “indecisive”, you’re just a Trumpet trying to LARP is a “leftie” on lemmy lol
And I used to think all conspiracy theorist nutjobs were republican.
I think you proved the stupid part with that statement alone. Crazy pot heads have some of the craziest conspiracy theories ever. This is not new.
