Hatred has not and will not ever drive voter turnout

I can't recall an election or read about one where dislike of a candidate drove a large or higher turnout.
Historically large turnouts are always to vote for a charismatic candidate, blacks absolutely turned out for Barack.
Joe may be in for a long night

2012 was a great example of this.

Agree.

But fake ballots will make up the difference

America will not vote for frail and weak over strong and assertive.

Ackshully... It's the conventional wisdom in politics that people who are against an issue are easier to convince to vote than those for it

Do you not think we have gone beyond convention in 2020?

I dunno. I usually go casually vote when the office closes.
This freaking year I’ll be disappointed if I’m not in the first 5 names on the roll.

On top of your point, people may not like trump, but he has a very specific vision and plan to accomplish his goals. For better or worse, you know where trump stands: America first.
Joe on the other hand, is an empty vessel. He does and says whatever the machine tells him to. Even if that means flip flopping on a position he’s held his whole career, or changing his stance in a question asked yesterday, his position changes with the wind. And that’s when he’s actually answering a question and not outright refusing to answer questions claiming voters don’t deserve to know where he stands on particular policies that might reflect poorly
One is the establishment candidate being propped up in every conceivable way. The other is an outsider whom the establishment hates and would do anything to get rid of him.
The choice is simple, America

I agree with you, but I think it is worth pointing out that Hillary was absolutely hated and clearly turned out a ton of folks that were terrified of her as President.

Even Hillary had a “hook” amongst a segment of the voting public.

Have you ever heard of the two minute hate?
Posted on 10/16/20 at 8:02 am to Strannix
Overwhelming turnout against David Duke.

This isn't just about hatred.
He has literally drove them completely f*cking INSANE.
Some people joke about it, but TDS is REAL.
There are millions of these freaks who will come out just to vote against Trump. Just a few years ago, you'd look at these people and think that they were perfectly normal -- other than the fact that they lacked plain common f*cking sense and had no ability to understand basic human nature.
However, now it's clear that they have a REAL mental illness. So, not only will they come out to vote, but they'll also do anything and everything -- INCLUDING ENGAGING IN MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD WHEREVER POSSIBLE -- just because of their TDS.

Running against arguably the most popular politician in the history of the state.

Hopefully their hatred is overcome by their aziness and those people won’t be inclined to wait in line to vote against Trump. .

We’re in a different time my friend

I hope like hell Trump wins, but your statement isn’t entirely true. In 1998, Fob James was voted out as governor of Alabama only because people didn’t like the job he did.
Posted on 10/16/20 at 8:17 am to Strannix
Not saying I agree or disagree, but it drove me to vote for Trump in 2016. And against him in 2020

Hatred for Hillary got a TV personality elected????
