    That may be true and all but I take it you didn’t read the article, because that not what it was about.

    They polled people and those who are regularly vote in past elections tend to be pro Biden, those whom hadn’t voted in recent elections tended to be pro Trump.

    Which is ironic because if everyone just got out and voted we might just have a send Trump presidency on our hands. I could be wrong, but I suspect that’s the opposite of what you are thinking would happen.

      need I remind you that Trump lost the popular vote and won? With 100% (99.99%…) then it likely wouldn’t have been so close. Trump won because of voter apathy towards HRC.

      Also your comment doesn’t take into account voter suppression, disenfranchisement and gerrymandering- all of which are self evidently powerful by token of how common they are.

      President Joe Biden performed much better among frequent voters, while Trump had a large lead among people who haven’t voted recently.

      Yes, it seems you are correct; according to this article if you want Biden to win you have to tell people NOT to vote. I imagine (I don’t have numbers) this is the opposite of what most of us expected.
