      Prediction: if Biden wins, progressives will in fairly short order return to hating midterm elections, a subject of great, urgent importance from 2010-16 on which they have been conspicuously silent since.

      Were you not here during the Obama years, or have you just blocked them out?

      C'mon. I hate having to explain obvious things, but it was a major talking point with progressives under Obama (eg, Greg Sargent banged this drum for years) against Congressional resistance to the Obama WH that Congressional Rs were elected in lower-turnout in midterms.

      I think it highly unlikely that you are unaware of this, or unaware of why we have not heard the same argument since 2018. But if you wish to feign ignorance, there is only so much I can do with that.

      We will hear plenty about the two electorates - midterm v. Presidential - and how the former is so much less legitimate than the latter because of the former’s lower turnout and whites among up a higher portion of the latter.

          I'm not sure how that list of mostly nonpartisan sources doing factual analysis of how midterm turnout affects Democrats supports your case. That aside, "progressives talk more about low midterm turnout when it's not canceled out by anti-incumbent swing" is not much of a gotcha.

          Replying to @beneprism @baseballcrank and

          In 2018 I frequently had to talk down fellow Democrats who were convinced that weak turnout in midterms would prevent a blue wave. The anti-incumbent swing is a lot stronger. And it didn't hurt that Americans really loathe the Republican president. Turnout was fine this time.
