Hahaha I was literally just debating this exact thing and then I saw this post. Guess my decision is made!

Yeah, I can see that being the case. Always gotta have an out group to hate if you're conservative. It reminds me of the whole "People don't want to work!" nonsense. I saw a post once that collected pictures of newspaper articles going back to the 1800s that all complained about "the kids these days" being lazy and not wanting to work. Any one of them could have been written today. I guess the tactic of focusing people's ire has been working for quite a long time.

The stuff they said about Millennials was the same stuff they said about Gen X, minus the specifics of liking avocados. It's the age old cycle of old people being mad that young people exist and might have different preferences. Tale as old as time, sadly.

You know, I wasn't rude to you, so there isn't any reason for your condescending tone.

The people that always stay home weren't gonna come out. They never do. 2020 is said to have had historic levels of turnout and it had 2/3rds of eligible voters coming out to vote. I wouldn't count on that last third who always sits out to suddenly realize they're screwing themselves and everyone else. I still don't know where the 10 million number is coming from. Who's projections and statistics? Would it be the same people who projected that despite a close race, Harris would be the likely winner? I'm not sure they're all that credible at the moment. I think people shifted right and I think that sucks a lot. I wish I had a solution, but I don't. There were any number of good reasons to come out and vote for Harris, or at least against FatPutin, but here we are.

According to Wikipedia, about 155.5 million people voted in 2020 and so far, there are about 150.2 votes counted this time (98% of votes counted). They say that in 2020 we had a 66.6% turnout, but until all the votes are counted, we don't have a turnout number yet. That said, it seems on track to be a little lower than 2020, although not by a huge margin.

No he didn't. At last count, he's sitting at 77.4 million votes, which is a little more than 3 million more votes than he got in 2020 (74.2).

That's true for all earbuds, as far as I'm concerned.
