1) she’s a chick so lots of chicks will vote for herSerious question in the subject line.
Our POTUS elections sometimes have modest increases in voters for both major parties in the same year, but 2020 was unique. Almost 22 million more voters participated than 2016.
2004 saw almost a 17 million voter participant increase, likely driven primarily by being the 1st election after 9/11.
The 2020 motivation was all about Trump. The popular narrative was that people were motivated to get him out including traditional GOP voters crossing over to Biden resulting in 81 million votes which significantly topped Hilary's almost 66 million votes in 2016 and Obama's 69 million votes in 2008.
It makes sense that the combination of new voters and GOP crossovers could drive Biden's total so high. Well, except for 1 minor inconvenience. Trump's 74 million topped his almost 63 million vote performance in 2016.
If the narrative was that Americans were motivated to replace Trump to the tune of new voters and crossovers going hard for Biden, where did 11 million more voters come from for Trump?
The logic has never made sense, but let's not get caught up in the validity of those numbers today. Instead, let's discuss what the motivation will be for Harris to pull off a win given that:
1. Trump's popularity is at an all-time high.
2. Harris is part of the Biden administration.
3. Voters didn't support Harris in 2020 when they had the chance to make her POTUS.
We know that X amount of voters will vote D while Y will vote R no matter who is involved. Those people are just noise.
Can someone list the Harris accomplishments over the past 3.5 years that will motivate crossovers and new voters to turn out for her in 2024?
Keep in mind that Biden was the VP of one of the most popular POTUS in history, not as measured by official approval ratings, but more about cultural impact and having the attention of the people. Obama and Trump are a lot alike when you look at it from a love/hate perspective of being lightning rods for the extremes.
Biden had the advantage of being the older "retired" politician 1 term removed from service. He was a salvation option for those voting against Trump.
Harris is the VP of a POTUS who is being doubted by his own party. She's been mostly invisible as VP with the most negative perception since Quayle.
Once this initial media spin cycle wears off, what will carry her across the finish line?
I have a feeling the strange days aren't over yet. Nothing is settled, even within the Democratic party.
2) she looks black so lots of blacks will vote for her
3) all media (except Fox News, Newsmax) are completely rooting for her rather than actually question thr Biden Harris record.
