If the hate was motivation enough, Biden supporters would be forcing themselves outside of his rallies as an act of solidarity. I hate the Press and the Liberal Hollywood elite more that I love Trump, but I will enthusiastically support Trump to emphasis my hate of the other two.

No. Some hate Trump and they will turn out. However, hate is a strong emotion and many, MANY vote against are soft votes and they won't. Karen gets an offer for a coffee at Starbucks and she will be too busy to go vote and her sheepish dislike won't beat a latte. I, on the other hand, will crawl through broken glass in a viper pit and scale a mud wall up to a voting machine with my enthusiasm.

I was taught that voters are more likely to vote for someone, than against someone.

I’ve never seen the math though.

Let's hope our leftist friend from austin is wrong, but I'm afraid he has a point.

Nope. It's been proven time and time again that 25-30% of people who don't like either party won't even bother voting.

Democrats are still turning out colossal early voting numbers because they hate Trump


You do understand that the majority of democrats vote early and the majority of republicans vote election day right?

Perhaps not otherwise we'd be talking about President Romney.

Those that hate may be motivated to speak out but they are usually lazy and don’t do much to change their plight. They just keep hating and bitching.

This may have worked if the election remained a referendum on Trump, with Biden hiding in the background. However, the combination of the last debate and Hunter Biden's laptop defined Biden as a candidate and turned the election into a choice between two candidates. And, from what I've seen, the Democrats were not prepared for that.

Some truth to this.

I hate commie cucks, empty suit lying/corrupt/senile/politicians and their crackhead niece-fricking sons; conversely, I love America and freedom.

I have a feeling there are more in the latter category than in the former.
