Still waiting for a deep dive analysis on the effects of voter suppression in the 2024 election. Has this happened and I missed it? Or are we still just going along with all these voters stayed home because they're disillusioned with Dems narrative.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.
