(6,804 posts)See how total lack of enthusiasm effects a national political campaign. Most people (and I mean MOST people) just want this all over with. But it will putter along.
Could end up (like Nixon before him) that there won't be enough energy left after January for retribution. That would be a terrible shame.

(14,165 posts)I think many like to talk a big game. That they don't need no stinkin' masks. That its all a hoax. But when push comes to shove, literally, they take the side of self-preservation. The old, "its fine if its happening to the Other, but when it affects me or my family...."
I predicted this low turnout, and said it would be a lack of courage, because of the COVID virus fears for large crowds. And knowing that they'd be called out if they were one of the few wearing a mask so they first were afraid of the taunts if the did protect themselves, and knew they'd have to attend without one, and thus expose themselves. I was criticized by one here for using the word "courage", like Maher was about the 911 terrorists I guess. But that's what it was I think, they were too frightened to put their money where their big mouths were, when it came down to it.
