Lemmings gonna lem, but I blame the millions of Dems who stayed home because Kamala didn't meet their moral purity standards and they refused to be "complicit in genocide". Cuz everyone knows it's better to walk over broken glass barefoot than wear uncomfortable shoes, right? If some of the 10 million who voted in 2020 but not 2024 had bothered to show up, we'd be looking at a very different story. Righteous dumbfucks.

Campaigning is getting people to vote for you which includes getting people out to vote. Those are the true "swing" voters. Her campaign failed in this regard

Yeah, it's not the fault of the voters, but a lack of advertisement.

God, I hate this timeline.

I think Kamala could have been the perfect candidate and she still would've lost.

The economy being in the shitter under the Biden-Harris administration killed any possibility of either of them winning another term. The economy ended up being the single biggest issue for American voters. Way bigger than bodily autonomy for women, LGBT+ rights, or Palestine.

I think it was closer to 15 million

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The stats I saw were 81 million in 2020 and 71 million in 2024, but I've been unable to find that table, maybe you're right.
