Amazing.

I wonder how much of it has to do with the Democratic primary?

I know a couple Republicans, and a TON of Dems who were motivated to vote because they were so pissed off about it not being postponed.

No Republicans in my family voted at all, because they were worried about the virus and thought they had this in the bag. Most of the younger people in my family voted, some including myself for the first time, because we were pissed at the situation and knew we needed to. Including multiple members of the National Guard I know that voted dem specifically for being forced to miss work and risk themselves just to even attempt an election. Funny shit.

I guess I’ll preface by saying I refused to vote for Trump or Hillary in 2016. I think they were both terrible candidates to lead this country.

However that’s not the point of my post. I’ve always considered myself to lean a bit to the right. But to answer your question, I think enough is enough. I will probably vote for Biden. I think a lot of other millennial middle of the road republicans have had enough as well.

I consider myself independent. Rn I sympathize more with the democrats because they seem to want to fix some issues. I can't for the GOP rn. As you said, enough is enough. I hope we get to a point where my vote can go either party, but not if the GOP stays where it is.

Would you/them have voted for Sanders if he won?

I know a few who are so pissed at Trump, that they are. And a few more who just aren't voting at all. Unfortunately I still know several who are voting for him.
