As always, Dems are hoping that fear of what the other side would do if they won will drive its base to the polls. But as all the comments here show, I worry that that will not be the case.
e.g. people recall how Biden “slapped” the train workers - not so much forgetting as never even knowing in the first place that Biden stayed with the situation for months to help them get a good proportion of what they had asked for.
If facts do not matter so much to conservatives, who are in possession rather of “alternative facts” and then vote with their hearts rather than heads, so now too it seems that liberals are likewise receiving possibly a different set of “alternative facts”, and may also (e.g. the Gaza situation) vote with their hearts rather than heads.
