    Here’s a Slate article showing the usage of the phrase “most important election in our lifetime” going back 200 years.

    The messaging is the same, regardless of what campaign, what year, how edgy, how pandering. It’s. The. Same. Vote or Die, MAGA, Hope, it’s all bullshit campaign strategies trying to get people to think of an election as more important than any other so we get out and vote. The DNC has been running the same strategies every 4 years for decades now, just wrapped up in different packaging.
