          I mean your sample is not really representative of the entire US population, so who knows what’s going to happen. I personally know no one who is not going to vote because, that would just be stupid to not participate in the democratic process.

          A person’s opinion does not matter if they do not vote, at least to those in power. 200 million people could not vote ‘in protest’. Doesn’t matter. Just means it’s that much easier for a bad candidate to take power and gain more control of the executive, legislative, and judical branches of govt that controls many aspects of our lives.

          On the other hand, there are a lot of Republicans, especially moderates and Republican-leaning independents, who are not going to go vote for Trump if he’s the nominee.

          Yeah, believe it or not, there are moderate Republicans.

            I find it hard to believe because they are so quiet.

              People remember Trump and his presidency and the chaos and January 6 and Roe and IVF and much else. If he ends up as the Republican nominee, Democrats and independents won’t be complacent.
