Protest voters did not meaningfully effect the election, alt right youth did not meaningfully effect the election. This is divisive propaganda.
The demographics that voted for biden but stayed home in 2024 were older white men/women and hispanic men. Probably because of those groups beleive in "traditional" patriarchal values and machismo culture and didn't like voting for a woman.
Or that mail in voting was removed from most states.
So then there's no point in protest voting and next time around anyone who says to vote third party should be told this. That was your point, right?
I mean the strawman you want to hate doesn't exist.
Which strawman is it that I want to hate? This should be interesting.
The one that says that the protest voters had any meaningful impact on the election.
I know engaging with reality is hard but you have to get over that ego to do it.
Agreeing with you is hating a strawman?
Because this is what was said:
Notice the whole me not saying you're wrong thing? So do we both hate that strawman?
This is an ignorant take. Those morons did plenty of damage and there is no way to tell how many people didn't vote that would have had they not been manipulated my dipshits. If you didn't vote blue you voted red 🖕
Lmao ok whatever your feelies are telling you
If you weren't a reactionary and used your brain you can easily figure out how many didn't vote.
The people protesting the Gaza war were majority younger people, and younger demographics had the same turn out as every election, they didn't turn out for either canidate.
The people who DO vote are older white people. And those groups had almost a 10% shift in turn out, along with hispanic men. And those groups don't give a shit about our wars.
