    Democrats have told voters for generations there are only 2 choices to vote for. They exercised another right, abstain. If the party thought trump was a serious threat they would have primaried the senile guy that refused to step down

      They should have voted and left the Presidential race empty on their ballots. All those down-ballotnstate and local races could have really made an impact. And strategists only care about the policy issues of likely voters.

          Glad to hear it. If I’m reading this correctly, only 13 districts nationwide split for Trump with Democratic candidates down-ballot. So to me that suggests far more people who refused to vote for Harris simply refused to vote outright.
