Like the title of the post says, we’re allegedly in the home stretch before the most consequential presidential election in US history. But no one seems to be seriously campaigning or focusing on it. Virtually no ads (compared to previous years), the Democrats seem to not be campaigning, nor is the GOP (apart from a few Trump rallies), the media seems to not really care, and there are only preliminary discussions on possibly holding debates or town halls. It really seems, based on everyone’s actions, that they all know that there won’t be an election this year. Or at least a conventional one. On top of that they’re so busy with other things that they can’t even be bothered to go through the motions of pretending to care about campaigning for an election.
Just wondering what you guys are thinking about this.
I agree, but the question is whether the US holds a normal election? My best guess is that there are one or two world altering events and the powers that be cancel it (similar to what happened in Ukraine). Then maybe at some point the military steps in and holds a real one (think like the ones in Afghanistan… heavily monitored, and people having to dye their fingers purple).
