So that's why 15 Million less people voted this year for the democratic candidate? All because the Biden administration could only acomplish some of their goals? That 15 million would have voted if they were more stubborn and further left on policies, or if they had managed more of the goals? I don't understand how that makes sense.

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.
