The only thing keeping people from voting against Trump was the other option was a corpse. People checked out because it was a joke. Apatgetic voters dont answer polls, and a lot of people weren’t going to vote that now will. The idea that the party listened to its constituents goes a long way. Even if Kamala isn’t ideal (she isn’t) she is a step in the right direction… NOT a corpse. She is hope that maybe the country isn’t doomed and she staves off the apathy most of us were feeling. Especially when the argument was “if you don’t go vote for the corpse, the incoming facism is your fault!”. Now, they did the bare minimum, so do I, I need to vote.
