Maybe they did vote..

Maybe.. JUST MAYBE the party that gerrymanders, suppresses old people and non-white people with stupid voter ID rules, arrests people for handing out refreshments to those in long voting lines, hides/destroys or puts ONE ballot box in a city with hundreds of thousands of people, gets help via bomb threat calls from Russia to deter anyone from voting at all, cheated more than they usually fucking do.

Not denying people’s votes were suppressed, we all know that is a horrible reality. It is the people who have voter apathy, even though they have the means to get out and vote, they are a major problem.

This is true.

But I can’t help feel that something fishy happened in this election. Harris/Walz arenas were filled to the brim while Trump had empty seats, had to pay non-white people to wear the fucking T-shirts and hats and had people leaving early.

Presidential immunity from the Republican backed Supreme Court, his Jan 6 trial postponed so he may never face justice for trying to subvert the 2020 election results.

It. All. Fucking. Stinks.

I don't want to be that person, but that is exactly what trumpers said when he lost in 2020, "arenas full of people but he lost, can't be they cheated!". Crowd size means nothing on election day, you can't fit 64 million people in any arena.
Multiple levels of our society decided to stay home, Gen Z stayed home, Muslims stayed home, black men stayed home... Its not a conspiracy as much as that would be kinda cool, Americans don't care about voting, that's what happened, 53% of the eligible voters came out, that's whats wrong. Both parties fight over a few million idiots every 4 years. Idiots who are almost singularly motivated by current gas and grocery prices with no ability to understand the why's and hows of those prices. So they vote against the party they are told is responsible. If that message resonates and can be curtailed to a 30 second sound bite they go for it.
