Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[DJC]

What I find most depressing is the fact that when faced with the clearest choice at the election between a candidate promising to restore normality to the country and a self absorbed, lying, narcissistic president clearly prepared to tear up the constitution to remain in power, more than ninety million voters could not be bothered getting off their backsides to cast their vote.

When that number is added to the seventy million angry white, gun toting, illiterate and semi-literate Trumpers , the magnitude of the task facing Biden appears almost insurmountable.

There's also the very determined campaign by the GoP to discourage and/or disqualify folk from voting and the US system  makes it hard for folk to vote.  Prior to COVID, almost all voting had to be done in person and that means taking time off work (or other pursuits) and standing in a line for a couple of hours.  The increased voter turnout this time was probably due as much to greater ease of voting as it was to getting your man elected ... or the other bloke defeated.
