    The mythical left dem base doesn’t out vote average centerist group. If you are looking for a perfect group you’ll never find it

      In support of that viewpoint, if they were ready to vote but just wanted to vote for someone who touted their interests, they’d have been there for a third party candidate, but they just were no where to be found.

      Would be interested to see why people sat it out. To the extent it was something utterly mundane like “couldn’t afford to take any time off work to get it done”.

        If you didnt want to vote gor either candidate why bother with the hardship to vote third party, everyone and their dog knew it was a two horse race. It always has been, and that is by design.

        It is disingenuous to say they would have showed up for third parties when it was the same as not voting essentially.
