Be careful with that. It was the infighting that kept people home in 2016.
No it wasn’t. It was the DNC cheating at its own game to support Hillary- who was deeply unpopular- that kept people at home.
You can blame other candidates being better all you want. The reality is, Hilary was and Biden is a bad candidate.
Sorry but getting more Votes is not defined as cheating. I didn't blame any candidates, I blame the idiots butt hurt for staying home. Add in the "Vote third party to send a message" idiots and you get 2016 in a nutshell. Please note: it wasn't Bernie Voters as they mostly did Vote. But all the "teach Dems a lesson" did was elect Trump. And that is all the fools whining about Biden shall do.
The "idiots" who voted third party went 3:1 for the Libertarian party. The Greens got 1% of the vote, and I'll bet a good portion of those would have picked Trump if forced to pick one or the other.
It's not third party voters, it's voters who stay home. If you think you can berate people into showing up for a shitty candidate, then you are delusional.
