The Democrats didn't have a primary, so I'm going to vote for the criminal/fabulist/sex pest who is also obviously declining.

Trump doesn't pretend to be whatever he is. That is literally what sets him apart. The Democrats accuse the opponents of being undemocratic while they themself don't have primary and have a candidate selected by their elite. There are plenty of "criminal/fabulist/sex" pests on the other side too.

yes. If people who often vote dem are not motivated to show up that hurts their chances.

Low turnout means the party isn’t that excited about their candidate leading
