7. About that "enthusiasm gap"

I guess if I was polled I might not say I am quite "enthusiastic" about voting for Joe Biden. But I will say I am enthusiastic about voting against Trump and will walk over broken glass and through fires to do so. And I am almost certain there are millions of Biden voters/ Donors/ Volunteers, who feel the same way as me. Much fewer similar voters for Trump, I think.

"Enthusiasm gap" is not as meaningful if one of the candidates is far more hated than the other.

On edit: I am, however VERY enthusiastic about voting for Harris
