In 2016, an reportedly estimated 129 Million people voted. 100 Million stayed home. People are getting all numbers psychotic today. The uptick is not going to exceed much beyond the 60% that turned out then.
2020 #EarlyVoting numbers are reported to be around 100 Million so in order for 70% of the 239,247,182 reportedly eligible to #VOTE , around 168 Million would have to had cast a ballot by day's end which would mean that around 72 Million will likely be who have stayed home.
This will be an improvement from 2016, 2012, & 2004 BUT in 2008, only 15 Million reportedly stayed home so what would 65+ Million staying home (if the turnout numbers are adjusted higher at any point) mean? Esp in the Duopoly Republic that we always have lived in? Read on.
1) No foreign influence determines any outcome. -- You can't blame #Russia, #China, or #Iran for American Electoral Outcomes. 2) The onus is & has always been ON THE CANDIDATES. -- You canNOT blame "the voters, 3rd parties," or anyone else for "wins or losses."
Finally & 3) Emotion & politics do NOT mix. It's horrible cocktail. Go to therapy & take naps like mature adults do. "Historic turnout" is media spin for "excitement & optimism" in a Duopoly Republic on something that's actually nothing until proven otherwise. #ElectionDay
Voting is a political illusion & one of the greatest scams that we all decide or not decide to participate in. Technically, it doesn't mean shit which is why so much is done to limit & dictate it. True voter leverage is in the NON-VOTE. And yes, the best vote is INDEPENDENT.
In America, nobody loves "cold hard blunt facts & truths" esp about voting but sooner or later, shit will always continue to happen that will ultimately force us all to learn. None of the Duopoly parties have learned anything & won't bc all they care about is staying alive.
The Democratic & Republican Parties do NOT give any shits, fucks, or damns if #Trump has a 2nd Term or not. They really don't & to think differently proves how systemically brainwashed you are. What pans out w/ Congress matters more anyway. That's where the "fight" is.
So my broken record will continue to play in noting that we all just need to know that #ElectionDay is a commemoration. It has never meant anything as we have never lived in a "democracy." #Republicans, #Democrats, & Wall Street are the "House." It always wins. Enjoy the sticker.
