Does this imply a low-turn out could favor Biden?

Honestly I think this analysis is dumb just because non-voters aren't a bloc. You have to look at which groups of voters/non-voters are more likely to not vote.

Some people in the thread seem to think so.

It would be strange if democracy was saved by people not registering and voting.

It really would

By not voting you're helping biden win!!!

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Only if roughly the same people decide to vote. Given that many of the people who won't vote Biden due to the genocide are very engaged in politics and probably voted in previous elections, chances are turnout isn't a single parameter that can so easily be used to predict anything about the outcome.

>We need to vote Biden so people will show up
>Biden unpopular among people who won't show up

Vote Biden to convince the people who vote for him already that he may be the lesser Hitler.

So is this line of thinking the latest Dem copium for Biden struggling in most normal polls

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Has Trump firmly come out as pro/anti genocide? AFAIK they're both already all in on Cold War 2.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely firmly pro genocide. His line is that Biden isn't supporting Israel enough.

Hope someone changes both their minds really really hard. With physical force.

Change their minds into pink mist

you can't run for or be US president without being pro-genocide.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Yes, he's critical of Biden for being insufficiently pro-genocide.

[–] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Wait what's that 'and' doing? I feel like it's actually saying that Biden is up with people who vote in the mid-terms and avoiding saying anything about the people who skip them.

[–] edge@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Possible interpretation: Trump supporters in 2020 thought he was going to win easily, so many stayed home (and never bother with midterms). That could mean a bigger turnout for Trump this year since they know he might lose.

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Didn't Roger Stone also complain about a lot of republican voters staying home since they believed all the shit about the elections being rigged (btw, sign of a mega-cucked electorate when they unquestionably accept that elections are rigged and then just do nothing about it)

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

anybody between 18 and 21 years old didn't vote in 2020 & 2022...

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

If non-voters vote for trump, and I vote for Biden, is that a vote for Trump? thonk

[–] Cherufe@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

The most important election will have the smallest turnaround lol
