        People did turn out though, so many states reported record turnout, yet… this…

        Did people just go to the polls, see the choices and go “Eh… nevermind” and go home? Like millions of people?

        Or are we down to republican level of accepting losing?

        Lemme play devil’s advocate and ask if that would really be such a bad thing if we were considering being an unhinged lunatic gets your people elected.

          Yeah probably it would be a bad thing. Republicans try to mobilize the idiot vote. To get that, you can be unhinged, but you alienate the more reasonable voters, the educated city people that the dems absolutely need.

          Although it would be interesting to see two unhinged parties try to fight it out to get the idiot vote. I assume Italian political culture to be something like that, all the smarter Italians I’ve ever spoken to seem extremely frustrated by their system.
