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.

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.
