Looks like fairly close to the same amount v9ted this election (at least in my state) as the 2020 election. Maybe slightly higher.
Lotta people are blaming the dnc for the L. I blame them for forcing Hillary in 2016, but this go around? No. Neither candidate in 2024 was a great pick, but Harris was still clearly a better choice to run the country, and anyone could find that with a touch of research. Even passively.
This time around it's because the majority of Americans are uneducated, short sighted, idiots. They voted in a senile 80 year old republican felon, while every one who worked under him in 2016 said not to vote for him, economists said not to vote for him, and everyone else but Putin across the globe screamed not to vote for him.
In 2020
Biden: 81.2 million
Trump: 74.2 million
In 2024 so far
Harris: 67.0
Trump: 71.9
Trump got about the same amount of votes. Dems lost 14 million votes.
Youch. I really thought the left would feel more pressed to actually vote this time, even more than in 2020. Screw this country. There was no reason for them to not go vote. People suck.
Your problem is you view dems as "the left" when they are capitalists through and through. Trump is good for neo-liberalism and all the imperialism that comes with it.
He's bad for anyone making under 7 figures a year.
I think they know that. It would make sense for them to say what they did if they knew it.
But the media conglomerates are cheering. Just think how many clicks they will get now when rapey orange says something colossally stoopid.
