Third party canidates did not receive enough votes to sway anything this election.

Third party canidates did not receive enough votes to sway anything this election.

The biggest spike was in non-voters. Around 16M - overwhelmingly Dems - stayed home between 2020 and 2024.

Dems were successful in scaring voters off the Green Party. Greens got 1.4M voters in 2016 and a mere 636k voters in 2024.

But that was just a tiny slice of the overall atrophy of progressive support.

Socialism or Barbarism... We're making a choice
