MODERATORS
The majority of Americans who bothered to show up want this. A plurality decided they didn't care either way and decided they'd rather just stay home.
its actually worst than that, they dint even know biden wasnt running anymore, or asking how is it affecting them now and being in the target minority of the gop,
The majority of Americans who were enfranchised and bothered to show up and weren't so turned off by the ongoing genocide that they could choke down another vote for a dim-witted would-be technocrat.
In Texas, the state legislature imposed a host of reforms to the election process that made lines longer, registration more difficult, and kicked more people off the rolls. The sitting liberal Attorney General of the United States didn't do shit to stop them.
Consequently, voter participation in the state plunged a full 6% from 2020 to 2024.
This is, presumably, because over 1M people just got a case of the lazies.
All that disenfranchisement and it only dropped 6%?
Active disenfranchisement is definitely a factor, and something that needs to be addressed... but it's hardly the biggest factor in why people aren't voting.
