Voter turnout was the second highest since women got the right to vote. Voters came out and narrowly voted for Trump in seven key states. Many didn't like him, but didn't believe that the Dems actually cared about their issues. And while Trump is crass and wish he were nicer, at least life during his presidency wasn't bad for them.
This was the most important election in our life time and the best the Democrats could do was pick the next person in line.
Voter Turnout was high, and yet there were less votes cast overall than in 2016 or 2020. I have to call shenanigans, why are 20 million votes unaccounted for?
2016 had under 138M votes cast. This election has 135M counted with California having only 63% reporting and Arizona only having 85%. What's your issue?
Life wasn't bad? You missed the million US citizens who died under his watch because of his covid actions?
People minimize the bad things of the past to have hope for the future. They're dead. We're alive. Not my attitude, but at least I can hear it and not lose my shit.
The last two elections were also the most important elections of our lifetime.
Agreed. And the best the Democrats could do was give the next person in line. It didn't work in 2016 and it didn't work in 2024.
