I think it's common knowledge that there are significant coalitions of people who won't turn out for the Democrats because of things like Gaza/controversial presidential nominations/general disillusionment with the party. My own Dad, a lifelong Democrat voter, likely voted for RFK Jr. this time around because he isn't satisfied with what the Democrats are delivering and lives in a safely blue state. I don't agree with his decision, but as with the many others like him I can't stop him from making it.
That's fair. I'm just trying to decide what I can do living in a country more concerned with populism than policy, and really don't like the reality of that situation. I should probably speak with some Punk artists and musicians.
