MODERATORS
55% of the vote, 20% of the population. Democrats stayed home.
Many who voted democrat in 2020 voted republican in 2024 because the billionaire class convinced them democrats caused inflation when democrats said they would tax billionaires.
Imagine what they would do to Bernie.
No, blue voters didn't vote for Republicans. This is the second thread I see you posting this misinformation when it's not remotely true outside of ONE demographic (Latino men). Left of centre democrats just didn't show up to the polls (and they had no reason to, tbh).
You can look up the turnout numbers yourself, it's literally headline news.
Edit: nvm, you seem to have it out for Bernie and think Biden/Harris was a fine ticket even when Dems were asking Biden to step down. I see your game.
According to the numbers: independents who voted democrat in 2020 voted for Trump this time. A major reason for this was who they felt was responsible for inflation.
Ok bro, and what about the DEMOCRATS that didn't vote this time around??
How did Harris lose 10-15 million votes + Trump lost 2 million votes from 2020 if EVERY INDEPENDENT from 2020 voted Trump?
All anyone has regarding that is annecdotal. But in my experience many friends, family, coworkers who voted democrat in 2020 were convinced by republican ads that democrats were to blame for the inflation caused by Covid and price gouging.
We literally have the numbers, it's called "counting the ballots". What in the post-fact world?
This has to be a troll.
Voter turnout was a record high never before seen in 2020 because of the pandemic.
Less people voted overall in 2024 because no pandemic.
Not rocket science.
Compared to last election, several million were people who recently voted Democrat, yes.
What no political theory does to a mfer
Trump offers a fake anti-establishment for people who are rightfully mad at the state. Only a working class party can direct that towards actual improvement.
Problem is obviously that a working class party wouldn't be funded and backed by billionaire capitalists the way the duopoly is; that's the point of liberal "democracies" — keeping capitalist parties in power.
I’m not impressed by this analysis.
We literally saw it happen. It is well documented. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanders%E2%80%93Trump_voters
They couldn’t be more different to me, either, but what we think is irrelevant. Whatever their reasons, and no matter how alien those reasons might be to you and me, significant numbers of people really did flip.
Um. I have seen it and they are just antiestablishment. Period. No other guiding light than that.
You are not intelligent or informed. 20% voted him in. 55% of the people who voted comes out to about 40% of the eligible voters nationally.
Why do different elections have different vote totals? Why is non-voting a significant bloc?
By design. Voting day is not a holiday and on a work day. Poor and working class are disenfranchised as a result. Fewer turn out because it's not worth skipping work to stand in voting lines for hours.
Yes, why does this count vary from election to election?
Shit. I think I replied to the wrong comment with this. Sorry.
lmao "It's disinformation when someone calls me unintelligent and uninformed". What happened, did you get tired of people telling you "that's not what ad hominem means" and reach for the next rhetorical pejorative that crossed your mind?
I made no value judgements about insulting people (you don't really need to specify "in online debate"), I was amused by the fact that you called it "disinformation" when it was just an insult and pointing out how silly it was.
It just makes you sound like a dweeb because "disinformation" is the dem-aligned version of "fake news". I don't have the slightest interest interest in your life story.
