For the GOP, everything is “Get out the Vote” . Every lying facebook post, all the dumb anti-mask rallies, and every policy decision. It is all about getting the base fired up.
Democrats dither, delay and debate. Democrats think the base will come along, because what choice do they have? Democrats can’t acknowledge the base because they would push them off their message of obsequious compromise. Also we nominate wishy-washy centrist who couldn’t put together an inspiring message if all the pieces were numbered and came with IKEA directions. It makes us bad at the pace and volume of modern politics.
The Trumper won in Virginia and is close in New Jersey. Good news for Trump.
