By John Q. Hosedrinker Trump loses to Biden by six points in a new poll. When I first saw this headline, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. As someone who has never voted for a Democrat before, I eagerly cast my vote for Biden in 2020, and I can’t wait to do it again. For the first time in my life, I felt a overwhelming sense of satisfaction and hope when I entered that voting booth.
But let’s not get complacent. The destruction that the MAGA cult has brought upon this country is something that I have never wanted to see in my 50 plus years. It’s essential that we don’t rely solely on polls to determine the outcome of the election. We need to take action and make our voices heard by voting.
One concerning aspect of the poll is the demographics of those who said they wouldn’t vote. The fact that 5% of the 18-49 age group, which includes Gen Z and Millennials, stated that they wouldn’t vote is alarming. This group, which is predominantly Democrat and Independent, is a crucial voting bloc that Biden needs. We saw in 2016 how the choice not to vote played a significant role in Trump’s victory, and we can’t let history repeat itself.
Furthermore, it’s disheartening to see that Biden’s largest disapproval rate comes from the younger age group of 18-34, with a staggering 63% disapproval. This shouldn’t be a close race. We need to encourage and empower young voters to exercise their right to vote, as their voices will shape the future of this country.
Polls are just snapshots in time and shouldn’t be the sole basis for our actions. We need to remember that a popular vote win means nothing if it doesn’t translate into electoral votes. It’s not about the numbers; it’s about ensuring that Trump is defeated by a wide margin, one that leaves no room for dispute.
Yes, there may be opposing polls showing different results, but what matters most is that we don’t let this divide us. We must focus on the goal at hand, which is to vote for the candidate who will lead this country towards progress and unity.
Lastly, it’s important to remember that polls can sometimes be used to suppress the vote or manipulate public opinion. We can’t fall into that trap. Instead, we need to stay focused, plan to vote, and take others with us. Our actions at the ballot box hold more weight than any poll ever could.
So, let’s not get complacent, let’s not be swayed by headlines that make it seem like a game. This is a crucial moment in our history, and we must approach it with seriousness and determination. Trump should not even be in the running for the nomination, but unfortunately, the GOP is latched onto him. It’s up to us to ensure that he doesn’t have the opportunity to continue his damaging reign.
In conclusion, let the poll results serve as a reminder that our work is not yet done. We must vote, we must organize, and we must secure a resounding victory for Biden. The fate of our country depends on it. So let’s not waste any more time. Let’s go out there and vote like our future depends on it, because it truly does.
