    Geez, i expected more fighting in the comments, but everyone here’s just dunking on op and calling them a “bad actor” so I’ll start one.

    Is there even a single comment about the content of the article? Some of y’all commenting on FUD and OPs contributions should take a hard look at their contribution to both this comment chain, and Lemmy in general. I hope it looks better than what i see.

    Anyway, enough of how disappointed i am with you, all of you, and on to the article.

    Most of the article is just polling opinions, so not a lot to see, but i thought this part was interesting:

    Fewer voters also say “it really matters who wins” the 2024 presidential race compared to those that said the same at this point in the 2020 cycle. Back then, 80 percent of Trump supporters and 77 percent of Biden supporters said the race really matters — but those figures have now dropped to 70 percent each.

    This is surprising. I thought most people considered this election even more important than the last!

    Is there a record somewhere of “election importance”? How far back does it go? Is this 7-10% drop normal?

    By the way OP. As someone often critical of Biden i too get called a russian or chinese tank sometimes, so i feel close to ya. Thanks for contentin’ and shit. here’s an upvote from me <3

      The most important election in history is always the one happening next year.
