    Not really, people were pretty clear that they didn’t like Biden or Harris, it’s just that they’re better than Trump.

    I’ve been polled a couple of times this year and they ask me to rank the candidates from 0 to 100.

    I put Biden at about a 60, Harris at 55, but Trump is a zero.

      Most people only really care about 2-3 topics in a federal election. People pick the candidate that aligns with what they believe is important. In the 2 party system that almost never changes because each party has a somewhat unified set of beliefs.

      People are clear that any advocacy for a change in policy on Harris’ part means you want Trump to win and are a maga chud.

      No, blind loyalty is the order of the day, particularly here on lemmy.
