He did have a plurality of the vote. Perhaps a majority. Therefore my statement stands.
He had a plurality of the vote; 42% of those that voted, voted for him. Voter turnout was about 65%. Voter registration was 74%.
Quick math, what's 42% of 65% of 75% of the voting populace?
Most of us didn't vote for him. Most of us that voted didn't vote for him.
So the majority of Americans either voted for him or were complicit.
He got 42% of the vote. That means that 58% did not vote for him. I don't know why this is so difficult for y'all to understand.
Yes but by your own stats a large portion of that 58% were complicit. So the majority either voted for him or were complicit (by not voting). This is literally the implication of the stats you are giving right now.
Are you intentionally missing the point, or is your reading comprehension even lower than the average American's? The person you're responding to said only 42% of the people WHO DID VOTE, voted for Trump, which means that 58% of people who DID VOTE voted for someone else
You're missing the point. Im saying the people who DID NOT vote are complicit and they plus Trump voters make up the majority. This shouldn't be a hard concept to understand
No, literally the thing I posted is that of the people that voted, 58% voted for "not trump"
You’re missing the point. Trump voters + non-voters = the majority of Americans. Is that really so hard to understand?
Those who didn’t vote were complicit is the point.
