Well, that's where the first part matters. I also think politicians will certainly notice if constituencies that said this is important to them (young people, Arab Americans, African Americans, several Indigenous nations, etc.) show up in significantly lower numbers than 2020.

You’re almost correct. Politicians do notice who shows up to vote. And they prioritize the issues of the groups that reliably show up. They largely ignore the groups that don’t.

You say “notice”, I say “figure there’s no point doing literally anything those citizens say they want because they don’t fucking vote anyway” But you know, tomAYto, tomAHto

Ok, so “politicians notice” and start having discussions about this after Nov, and the Dems decide — against their track record of lurching to the middle — that in 2026 they’ll start going left. In the meantime, Donald Trump is president and following through on his promise to ramp up the war. /1
