Any impact protest voters might have had could be outweighed a thousandfold by nonvoters. Why call out protest voters unprompted as a cause of an election swing when their impact is a drop in an ocean?
Half the country didn't vote. If 1% of them leaned Biden they would still have had more impact than protest voters, and I feel like the percentage leaning Biden might have been slightly higher than 1%.
I feel like I see protest voters called out 300x as much as nonvoters and I can never understand why it's so disproportionate.
Reading this just unlocked an ancient memory. There was some DOS game that was included in a big pack of cds in sleeves that came for free with the pc my mom bought in 1993 (I think). I could never play it because none of those cds came with manuals and the game required the last word of manual page 5 or something to actually open.
