Second highest voter turn out for a presidential election in US history.

Clearly its the voters fault.....

Also why in the broken nation is the assumption that if more people showed up they would have voted like you? I never got this concept. Please spend more effort being an opposition/resistance and less being poor losers.

Millions of people who voted for Biden in 2020 didn't show up to vote for Harris in 2024.

Trump's numbers barely changed at all between the two.

And I can't say that I blame them. Biden's presidency... or his campaign... or Harris' campaign...

It was a shit-show all the way through. Maybe next time the Democrats should try catering to their voter base.

"I know fascism is bad, but I understand allowing it - I mean, look how uninspired the other option was!"

Yeah, this is exactly why we're in this position.

14 Million primary voters picked Biden in 2024.

He won the primary, as has every incumbent for many many decades.

We failed them, not the other way around.

What primary? The democrats did everything they could to shut down primaries. From refusing to run other candidates to outright cancelling votes.

I literally just told you the 2024 primaries. Are you an AI?

There were 7 states holding their primary before Super Tuesday where Biden won 15 states all at once. Some states he won with a margin over 90%.
