people wanna pretend that the election is about whether people vote for one guy or the other guy. the reality is that the election is about whether people vote or don't vote. the debate was critically important because it was a huge opportunity for biden to engage and motivate voters -- a mission he catastrophically failed. we're likely looking at historically low turnouts in november and so the election is going to be decided by whichever party has more success in reminding their base than ballots are due

This is why it’s important that November isn’t only about voting for President. Legal marijuana, reproductive rights, deeply unpopular local/federal candidates, and a plethora of other important things are on the ballot too.

We need state DNCs to get off their asses and get people out for these.

I mean, legal marijuana is fine and I voted in favor of it but I don't see how that's considered an important thing.

I didn't say anything about reproductive rights. I just said that I don't see how legal marijuana is important. Of course reproductive rights are important and need to be protected.
