    Jeet Heer Retweeted Ryan Grim

    Obviously this is also true: that Trump polarized and mobilized the electorate, getting a huge turnout for himself but also mobilizing a larger countermajority. But I'd insist it's important that he never got a plurality, let alone a majority, of voters.https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1327453553380749312 …

    This is dangerously wrong. He significantly increased turnout. 10 million more people voted for him in 2020 than in 2016 Go through historical variation election to election and you’ll find that’s a huge jump. There are maybe 2 dozen Dems out of House or Senate seats bc of that

        I was triggered by “still a limited appeal.” If I edited that tweet of yours I’d have sent that back for a new phrase. Whatever Biden got, you can’t call 72 million “limited appeal” without breeding underserved overconfidence

        The real question is who is going to step up as a Republican with that much appeal. Of course, 4 years is a very long time.

        Republicans had been stuck at 58-62M from 2004 to 2016 until Trump turned out an extra 10M in 2020.

        There are two ways to keep opposing voters from showing up to vote: 1) by blurring differences and saying things will be mostly the same if you win or 2) by creating legal and physical barriers to their being able to vote. Number 1 beat number 2 in this election.

        Also, if you make it easier for people to vote, more people vote. This isn’t rocket surgery.

        Can we get info on if increased early and mail-in voting and the regularly updated reporting on the numbers led to an increase of same day voting? And if there may have been a cascading effect that occurred with early voting? More voting on Nov 3rd to counter panic of D voting?

        If trump was responsible for the largest voter turnout in history then shouldn’t he be praised for promoting democracy?

        Yes instead of "Never again" which we could confuse with the Shoah, Let's say, "let's not do this shit anymore.' How bout that for a motto.
