MODERATORS
At least single issue voters do vote for the candidate who supports their single issue. Anyone in the Abandon Harris camp who voted for Trump because of the Biden/Harris handling over the Palestinian genocide was severely ignorant of Trump's policies. I guess this would have to include those who didn't see him as a threat for their interests and decided not to vote.
It'd be like an anti-abortion single issue voter casting a ballot for a candidate who's supporting Extreme Abortions ™.
I did not understand this. "I cant vote for her because she is bad on the issue i care about, so i will vote for the candidate with an even worse stance!" And to those who didnt vote, well no vote in our shit system is a vote against whatever you prefer.
I know of a few who voted but left the President ballot blank.
Don't forget the millions who sat it out too.
