The NYT amplifying a story in a ridiculous manner can convince democrats to stay home because "ugh, they are all crooks."

  That's not what happened in the last election; in fact, the Democrats did marginally better with engaged voters. Anyways, I'm just saying, there's not much point to doing kremlinology about what the NYT is reporting.

    The "but her emails" jokes in this context are all about the 2016 election.

    Democrats provided a negative 6,265,888 votes for better engagement in Election 2024 than in 2020. But Democrat engagement was somehow negative marginally higher, at huge expense by independent voters. https://web.archive.org/web/20250114165808/https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-swings/ https://web.archive.org/web/20250114165808/https://projects.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election#Voter%20demographics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_president...

      "Democrats" are not a coherent, monolithic entity. But we have data on which cohorts of that coalition did and didn't turn out.

        As ABC tried to subsume 538 out of existance for its accurate breakdown of coalitions.
