Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

if you're asking what mechanism could be used to quantify "voter enthusiasm", a poll of "do you intend to vote in this election" seems like a pretty easy and obvious answer
Except maga has touted "enthusiasm" for 8 years.
What are they measuring?
Where's the data?
New voter registrations after a particular event.
You could also read the article you posted?
Does maga use the same enthusiasm data?
What was the enthusiasm measurement in 2020 vs. today?
What's the metric?
Fuck knows, go find out yourself.
Sorry I hurt you so badly.
Why are you like this? Try and put your thoughts into a coherent point instead of just asking a bunch of inane questions.
Is your point that you think 'enthusiasm' is a made up metric? Ok, cool, great job, you cracked politics.
Why are you concerned about me?
What's wrong with you?
I'm allowed to be concerned about you. We're all internet strangers, and your way of talking to people is obviously rubbing people the wrong way.
It's also obviously not rubbing people the wrong way.
You're also rubbing people the wrong way.
Why can't you look after yourself, first?
ok
i'm not sure national elections of a world superpower are followed on precisely the same level as attack on titan readership
No data.
No metric.
But it's up!!!
Feelings!!
it's genuinely fascinating to me that you think manga readership is equivalent to voting
like, it's so strangely specific
is manga and the us election the only thing going on in your life?
manga?
are you feeling okay, friend?
Why do you ask, pal?
because you don't seem it?
You seem like a pedophile rapist.
So, there's that.
oh no they're not feeling okay
You're they?
noep
In Trump's case it is usually to do with his own inflated claims of rally attendance rather than any firm polling data. Donny really knows how to inflame his base, but his party's consistent underperformance in by-year elections suggests that doesn't translate into general election success.
Where's the data?
Otherwise, hyperbole and rhetoric.
