Seems strange that such a hotly contested election with historic enthusiasm on both sides has such a low turnout
I'm told it's got to do with poor election infrastructure.
@tgraph52 NO... it is the fact that racism/sexism is a deep and long component of all the "red" counties. And it is STILL being ignored.
@JazzCrafter
I'm not sure how that translates to low turnout
@tgraph52 It is a multiple of factors, is it not? But to ignore this important factor in the media and commentary.. (except for Whoopi..) is not acceptable. I will put up a map of the actual demographic totals.. Steve bigboard style.. in a few days as illustrations of this.
the totals don't reflect any reasoning or rationale...
@tgraph52 But the rhetoric that appealed specifically to this demo FOR YEARS.. is a certain reflection! So much that lies that *rump had a great economy that was actually constructed by Biden.. is widely believed to this day.. lies rooted in this cultural/economic conman good at "dog whistling.." It bothers me greatly that it is barely mentioned... as usual.
