To provide a more pessimistic note: A lot of people won't be voting FOR Biden, hence his low crowd count. You draw a crowd of people who want to hear what you have to say. Additionally, the Biden camp has made a show of social distancing which does limit crowd sizes.
What a lot of people will be voting for is AGAINST Trump.
Pretty much how a lot of them will go, sadly. It won't matter Biden's clearly senile, confused, low energy and barely able to string a sentance together due to being in politics nearly as long as the Witch Queen... but it's just NOT BLUMPF.
They've got it into their sad heads that the rise of facists is real, rather than people asking for the brakes to be pumped on the injustices and other issues that have directly effected their lives, and the way the people in power (like Biden) have completely ignored them for decades on end, only to find they're completely ill equipped to actually talk to "those people" any more.
I personally think that Ginsberg's "dying wish" never actually happened and was thought up by some Democrat operative, knowing the majority of people who identify as leftist are basically emotional children and can easily be swayed by such a manipulation.
Logical people hear the wish and respond that they don't fucking care. The Constitution and precedent are the deciding factors.
Most "Famous last words" are said days or weeks before death. I doubt heavily she said it though, and its her daughter being a slimy fuck for the DNC to try and stop the Orange Man.
So now all the Dems' gushing over Mittens being a "principled conservative" from the impeachment debacle earlier this is gonna get memory-holed.
Come to think of it, are libs memory-holing their previous statements on purpose, or are they just not capable of having memory span longer than a gnat with a concussion? This could be one exception to my non-belief in Hanlon's Razor.
They're saying its totally and utterly different a situation to 2016 and so totally not the same as their own hypocracy that saw them remove the very check that could've slowed down Cocaine Mitch and his plans for dominating the SCOTUS long after he's dead. Anyone Trump Picks is going to be there for at least 30-40 years, same as Kavunagh.
Dems could've filibustered or simply point blank refused to give them the votes for the appointment, but no. No they had to nuke and burn everything for their glorious revolution instead of quietly taking the L and then regrouping for another assault on the SCOTUS at a later date. Had they chose to play the long game as previous Democrats had done everything would've worked out fine for them long term.
But no, they wanted it NOW, they wanted some legacy points for Schumer or Pelosi or
something.
They'll just say whatever is convenient in the moment, because reality is a white capitalist patriarchal construct or some such bullshit. I remember a few years ago when NYU re-enacted the Trump-Clinton debates with the sexes swapped with the intention of proving that Hillary lost because of sexism. Much to their surprise, the audience preferred the blunt, scrappy female Trump to the oleaginous smiles of the male Clinton. How quickly that was forgotten!
“Her Opponent,” at the Provincetown Playhouse, reconsiders the 2016 campaign had the candidates’ sexes been flipped.

This was looked at in a deeper way in the UK. The conclusion was that the UK public had grown incredibly tired with manufactured spin, and actively sought out politicians who didn't craft the perfect image.
This is why BoJo became so popular.
Maybe, but also his impeachment vote only hurt Trump, who he hates. It was a thumb in his eye.
Voting against this hurts McConnell and the entire GOP and their long-term goals. Apples and oranges.
It didn't hate Trump, it enraged his base and saw more people see it for the bullshit it was. Romney found himself nearly replaced back home in his native Utah and the threat's still likely to be there drumming away in the background.
