I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Giving subisidies to green energy companies and improving the GDP doesn't tangibly improve people's lives in 4 years and that's what people wanted.

It also takes longer than 4 years to rebound everyone out of the spiral Trump left the nation in. I think messaging around realistic goals and checkpoints could go a very long way to allowing people to understand no President is going to save everyone in a single term, or probably in 2 terms, especially if they have a crater to climb out of just to start at zero. Real change is a long term goal, it would take multiple administrations working towards a goal.

Americans are not educated enough to understand any of that.

They're hurting finantially, so they get mad and vote out the incumbent.

Democrats push policy like the avg american went to their ivy league schools.
