    Let me ask you: When have you watched a political speech, and not just sound bytes? For most people, left or right, the answer is never. A ton of Republicans have never seen a single thing Trump has said or done, outside of what they see on the news. The same goes for Harris. We are a politically disengaged people.

      67 million Americans watched the Trump vs Harris debate on the night it aired dude. And people like me watched it soon later (it took me a day or so before I personally found the time for it).

      Assuming ignorance is messed up. People know what they’re voting for.

        Congrats on being in the one in four who did, depending on how easy it is to bot those results. 25%. To a major event.
