This has been a recipe for a democratic win for a for decades. High turnouts favor democrats.

Yup, which is why the Republicans try to make it as difficult as possible to vote, especially for minorities. Don't forget Trump said if minorities vote, Republicans will never win another election.

Also, why they focus on voter suppression and divisive propaganda every election to get the lefties all riled up about whatever makes them stay home. I wonder which issue it is right now!?

Israel. The tankies (some of whom are probably Russian trolls) are pushing the "Genocide Joe" narrative. They like to talk about principles but that means nothing when the brown shirts start throwing punches and are backed by the government.

I really wish Biden would take a harder line to get that under control. At the very least it's aid that ought to be going to Ukraine which is instead being used for that disgusting mess.

The only justification I can think of is that it's the only leverage we have over them and without it they would have no reason to be "restrained" at all. Even then I have my doubts.

The entire premise of the article is the exact opposite - that Trump did better when turnout was high.

A new poll suggests it's Republicans who should be rooting for higher turnout.
