Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

MODERATORS
I'm being objective. You can't look at at an election where every single Donald district flipped blue and then argue that minds didn't change. That's just unreasonable.
They are giving you two valid reasons.
Virginia 2023 midterms had 41% turnout while 2025 had 54%. Even comparing governor races, 2021 had 3.2mil votes casted with an R winning and 2025 had 6.0mil votes with a D winning. Their population has remained steady with 8.6mil in 2021 and growing 0.1mil each year. That's a massive turnout difference.
You're not being objective.
Voter turnout has everything to do with most US elections and explains election results far better than some sort of fantasy about people waking up and deciding to abandon years of family, friends and media.
When turnout is abysmally low republicans win in a landslide. They understand this and that's why their strategy for the last 30 years has been trying to reduce voter turnout by going after organizations like ACORN, delisting voters, etc.
