Voters may not be enthusiastic about voting for Biden, but they are enthusiastic to oust Trump

Antipathy towards Biden may well be overcome by strong, motivated hatred of Donald Trump today, on a scale 2016 didn’t get close to.

The ongoing risk and one bragging point with any credulity for Trump throughout this election has been the undeniable fact that the incumbent has the crowds, and a base of voters who couldn’t be more fired up or motivated for four more years, while Biden’s milquetoast moderate politics excite practically no one, and he just doesn’t have any sort of spark, he just comes off as a rather bland candidate to people.

Supporters of the President maintain that these facts ensure another shock victory for Trump: a repeat of 2016, where antipathy towards the Democrat and a boost in the aggravated white vote combine to eek out the Electoral Collage margin needed, while taking a hit in the popular hit. A few things here are different.

People know this time that Trump could win; a majority are found to expect so often. In 2016 people didn’t turn out for Hillary Clinton because they disliked her, and felt secure in the knowledge she’d win, best not bloody their hands by voting for her. People aren’t resting on their laurels today.

Trump’s record has destroyed much of his credibility with moderate swing voters, especially post-COVID response flailing. People know he won’t grow into the office; he’s moulded it into his own sickening image.

And while apathy to Biden is there, it isn’t outright hostility. With Clinton it was despair and hostility; this time it’s just meh. People may not be excited about Biden but they’re immensely fired up about removing Trump.

This election day is about to function as a referendum on Trump’s COVID response and social policies with Biden’s candidacy as an inoffensive conduit of a popular anti-Trump mandate. Biden won’t win, Trump will loose, and as a result Biden secures the Presidency. The battleground of who would handle the economy better or a referendum on Trump’s (surface level) strong economy would have been a ground Trump could’ve won, this isn’t.

There’s hope for America this election day.
