Trump didn't even get half of votes, much less half of the population. The vast majority of Americans aren't Trump supporters. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans don't vote.

I consider those who didn't vote to be just as bad as Trump supporter

Bingo. Yes, the system is rigged against minorities, but I wager there's far more other people who easily could have voted but didn't.

Yeah for sure. I respect that Republicans have made it difficult to vote in some areas but when Trump and Project 2025 are on the line, I really don't care. If you didn't jump through every possible hoop to vote against Trump then you may as well have voted for him in my eyes

He got more than half the votes, unfortunately.

49.8% is less than 50%... I used AP. I genuinely don't understand your meaning.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I meant he got the most, but yeah you're right that's not over half of the total votes

I think they assume the votes for the two should add to 100%?
