“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said.
“First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”
“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders asked.
“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”
That’s what you wrote. You are backtracking on that statement now?
We know that ~16 million people didn’t vote this time vs 2020. We know that around 60% of all possible voters participated in 2020. We don’t know what that ~50-60% in (2024) actually want because they couldn’t be convinced to decide. That is the definition of undecided. That is literally ~50% of registered voting people who left the choice undecided. A group you claim to be non-existent.
If they wanted to protest vote, they should and could have en masse voted for ‘Gaza Freedom’ or ‘No Fascism’ or any coordinated name as a write-in.
Several parties suggested it during their primaries. I can’t find evidence of it occurring in those primaries.
At least 12 states have no registration requirement for their write-in votes on final elections. Most don’t require it on primaries.
That didn’t happen or wasn’t reported. The evidence suggests the former.
I’d be more accepting of your claim if the facts actually supported your narrative.
The numbers show that only about 60% of people who can vote actually decided.
40% didn’t decide even after considering.
Beyond that there’s still 40% of the population who didn’t even decide to consider voting.
Which group of undecided voting eligible citizens do you claim as non-existent?
You didn’t say exactly what I said.
Your initial statement was in disagreement with the statement regarding undecided voters.
