These weren’t “independents” they were leftists who voted in the GOP primary. Many, many interviews of those who identified as “Democrat”, which were 27% according to exit polls, said they would vote for Biden over Trump. Plain as day.

2) If you don’t, where are the votes going to come from to elect a government different from the mess we have now?
