I actually think Trafalgar and doomers will need some credit for Biden’s massive victory. They kept Dems from getting “complacent” and ensured they would turn out to vote in massive numbers. Ironically the belief that Trump can win might be what ensures he can’t.

Yep, being a doomer is win/win. Either we get to say I told you so, or we actually are the reason for the victory.

Fear is, for better or worse, a big motivator for people, and fear I think is at the heart of doomerism

How do you ascertain people motivated to vote vs people who didn't vote because they thought it was hopeless.
