You don’t understand. There won’t be free and fair elections if everyone, not just the core constituencies, everyone doesn’t get out and vote Biden.
Or maybe you understand exactly and you don’t give a crap for, let’s say, reasons.
I mean yeah that is the threat posed.
Now one might think that a political party is more than the office of the president, and if that election is the only one that matters then the freedom and fairness of elections probably aren't as prominent as once thought.
The entire House, 20+ Democratic senators, and a dozen Democratic governors are up for election this year, and they're having to contend with their party platform. Biden's campaign and the whole rhetoric of not being Trump to beat Trump does not extend beyond the presidential ticket. It is acting as a dead weight for the entire party.
Keeping control of Congress should be a bit more important to the conversation because we are facing down a filibuster, if not veto proof GOP Congress.
