>**Pew Center**: Harris would not necessarily have benefited from higher voter turnout: When asked how they would have voted, people eligible to vote who did not do so were fairly evenly split in their preferences: 44% say they would have supported Trump, while 40% say they would have backed Harris.
This is important. Most of the Biden 2020 voters who became non-voters in 2024 lean clearly more conservative than the median dem and are relatively apolitical.
From another post election analysis:
>Contrary to what left-wing optimists had hoped, Democratic nonvoters in 2024 appear to have been less progressive than Democrats who voted. For instance, Democratic nonvoters were 14 points less likely to support banning assault rifles, 10 points less likely to support sending humanitarian aid to Gaza, 17 points less likely to report believing that slavery and discrimination make it hard for Black Americans, 17 points more likely to support building a border wall with Mexico, 20 points more likely to support the expansion of fossil fuel production, and, sadly for economic populists, 16 points less likely to support corporate tax hikes (though this group still favored corporate tax hikes by a three to one margin).
What should I use my monthly audible credit on?
I kinda wanna get the Director Krennic book but it’s gonna lack Ben Mendelsohn’s drag queen imperial Kalkite energy
I’m open to anything fiction or non fiction. Just finished the De Gaulle biography and In The Garden of Beasts about our ambassador to Germany during the rise of the Third Reich
Is there a JP Morgan biography worth reading or listening to?
