Yeah, both parties went down from 2020 counts. We literally had something like 18m or 20m who didn't show up combined.
Wild stuff. Oh well, we rode this roller-coaster once, we ride it again. Maybe this round we don't lose 2% of our population?
I'll bet we never find out how many were denied the ability to vote because of registration purges, bomb threats, and other malicious voter suppression.
But the fact that states both voted for abortion access at the state level and then also voted in all Republicans who will pass a national ban shows the voting population is stupid enough that this was the likely outcome anyway.
Fuck this country.

when does the candidate become responsible for their own turnout
As long as money is in politics, never.
We can always blame someone but the candidate who failed a popularity contest.

Hey, at least Palestine won’t be a stumbling block next election. 1 state solution it is I guess, sigh
Trump is going to have/help Israel just erase Gaza and the Palestinians as a people, there will be no need for any "solution". And this is apparently what all these people sitting out wanted in the end. Hope they enjoy the view from their high horse.

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.
