I get the sentiment, and I would vote for AOC if I were in New York, but yeah... this election feels like a foregone conclusion.

Inb4: "A lot can happen in four months, you don't know for sure." blah blah blah

I don't live in the USA but people in our media say it too.

I don't understand it though: are there people that voted for Biden last time that will now vote for Trump, even though he is now a convicted felon, and tried to steal the election?

Or is it just that everyone thinks that people won't come out to vote for Biden?

Can you help me understand?

Depressed Biden turnout and energized Trump turnout.

I don't know why people keep thinking it's about switching votes. The side that gets their supporters to turn out is the side that wins.

And there's no better way to depress the Dem turnout than to tell everyone we've already lost.

I just want to point out that the polls haven't changed after this incident. He has not gained more support. We can still do this.
