Somehow there are a lot of undecided voters. And somehow there are a lot of people who don’t like Trump but are too pure to vote for Biden (if the problem is posed as a Biden-v-Trump proposition).
This election is clearly first-and-foremost a referendum on Trump. But what exactly does that mean? Have these undecideds and too-pure voters realized that a wave of first-time dem voters would send a strong signal not just against Trump the person, but against Trumpism?
I understand the desire to protest with your vote. But I also understand I have to work within the specific limitations of our two-party system when I try to communicate something with a protest vote. This year, the waters are too muddy to communicate clearly with a third-party vote; and, over and above all of those other protest, the biggest fish to fry—protest-style—is Trumpism.
Think Trumpism, not just Trump.
