The problem was she wasn't a choice for a lot of people. That's something you guys have consistently failed to understand.
For people that actually suffered under the Obama or Biden regime, Harris did not represent a greater future than Trump. If you are given a choice of either shooting yourself, being shit, or ignoring the entire thing while trying to to find a way to survive being shot; most people will choose the latter option, which is simply not voting.
Homelessness hit a record high under Biden, and only climbed throughout his term. Credit card debt soared, yet consumer spending on nonessentials went down. People aren't worried about the status quo or the collapse of the US, people were worried about tomorrow.
When you have that situation, they don't give a fuck about a status quo candidate lying to their face about how great the economy is and how much nothing different they'll be doing.
Their choice was not Harris or trump, their choice was vote or not vote. And given their experience during Biden's term, they chose to not vote.
