Maybe it'd appeal more to you. But they've likely done their research and figured that they'd lose more votes from swapping him out.

Then this is their tactical choice to sacrifice voters that would vote for the DNC if he was swapped out, and the blame lies on the DNC, not the voters.

No, because the voters still have a choice to vote.

There's no guarantee that swapping candidates would get them more net votes.

There's a guarantee that Democrat or flip voters who abstain from voting for Biden are helping Trump win.

Why are they abstaining?

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Because they're okay with convicted felon Donald Trump becoming the president of the USA again, lol

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Are they? Is that why they are abstaining? Does that mean every third party and non-voter is okay with Trump?

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

If their vote matters (based on previous elections), then yes.

They're either okay with it, or they're ignorant.

So then the DNC is to blame, cool, we are in agreement.
