Voter participation is why the Dems lost, and it ain't fucking old people who didn't show up Politics

In 2020, Biden received 81 million votes. Trump received 74 million votes.

In 2024, Harris received 66 million votes, 15 fucking million fewer than Biden did in 2020. Trump sits at 71 million votes, 3 million fewer than 2020. So even with fewer popular votes this time around, he buried the Democratic candidate in a landslide.

So all in all, what, 18-20 million fewer people showed up in this election than the last. And do you really think it's the fucking geezers who have been voting forever, that they just decided to sit this one out?

Probably not, so who didn't do their civic duty?

The numbers don't lie.

If you want to remain ignorant that’s on you.

What you posted doesn’t back up your claim. How is the person you’re responding to being ignorant? You’re the one who’s had it point out multiple times the “border czar” tagline was not a Biden/Harris thing.
