Like all political "analysis", this one is just another bit of meaningless preaching.

Seems more like a boastful "I was right" from those that ensured they were right.

And how did the absolute number of them changed? The chart is meaningless without that - as far as we know the pleading worked, all the moderate Republicans left and are no longer registered Republicans. The percentage of Democrat votes among Republicans got smaller because they not only voted Democrat, they also changes their party registration.

I don't think it happened, I'm just saying these percentages alone aren't proving anything either way.

I agree, the chart is meaningless. Votes are anonymous, they don't have your name on them or anything. So the only way they can get this info is by people self reporting it, or something seriously fraudulent happening.

IMO, the chart amounts to "we asked registered Republicans to tell us who they voted for and 94% of respondents said they voted Republican" ..... And?

The information is without merit or value.

So many times I saw people on Lemmy saying they weren't going to vote because of [insert Reason X]

Everytime I told them they should, I was brushed off with some stupid Argument.

Well, I congratulate everyone who did that. You now live in a country headed by someone openly flirting with fascism. I really hope [Reason X] was worth it. And I really hope [Reason X] won't get worse under Trump (it will). You failed to prevent a fascist from raising to power just so you could virtue-signal.
