Helen BS: American Presidential race 2024 (467* d) RE: BS: American Presidential race 2024 20 Jul 24


Thanks Neil D, for your summary of the key issues at stake.

And thanks Stilly, for working towards encouraging more people to vote in the election.

Two of the main worries I have (from my perspective as an interested outsider in a country allied to the US) are:

that the persistent badgering of President Biden to back down from his election campaign could undermine the chances of Democrat success especially in the absence of a likely alternative candidate at this late stage in the campaign;

and that it may also discourage voters who are told repeatedly that Trump will win regardless of how they vote or even whether they vote.

Endlessly repeated prophecies of doom can generate a sense of hopelessness which can discourage proactive action, and it is made worse when the prophecies of doom are not necessarily based in solid facts and are instead based on opinion and fear, or selective media coverage, or maybe even a secret sense of glee at others' misfortune.
