I was telling someone that he could vote early and he said "wow, has it been four years already?"
So don't assume people know what they're voting for. Most of us on DU are diehards, but most of the population is not as tuned in.

I dont remind anyone about the election without knowing they will vote blue.

Democrats are harder to turn out.

you are still voting for President. You are voting that the President will be able to do the things he promised to do when he was elected in 2020. He will only be able to do what he has promised if you vote and vote for ALL Democrats.

He just doesn't stay tuned in to politics.
