The guy won the popular vote. The people who sat the election out would probably have broken for Trump too.

The problem here isn't voter turnout, it's voter preference for a fascist.

That's just not true. You have no idea what the people who stayed home would have done if they were forced to vote. You have no idea how the campaign would have turned out if Harris had tried to win the popular vote.

Actually, the problem appears to be exactly voter turn out. With a healthy heaping of Neo-Liberal rot in the Democratic Party.

Sure, because everyone who stayed home was a democrat. Every Republican voted.

Pretty much 15 million people didn't vote this election who voted in 2020. Major difference was every one was home. A good bit of people had nothing to do in 2020. 2024 we had to work and a life not a good reason but turns out without a national holiday with everyone off but emergency services. 15 million less people voted.

Pretty much every republican voted except 2-3 million. 11-12 million democrats were doing other things this year

The "genocide" propaganda worked, and now Trump will help Netanyahu expand it.

Republican voter base is most likely to have the motivation or resources or both to go to the voting booth to vote for Drumpf. All other voters need a convincing reason to lose out their paycheck to go vote at risk of losing their job. Dems and Kamala are to blame. Not the voters.
