Cool! Key takeaway for me from this is Trump didn't get more popular, Dems just got way less popular. Kind of brings a bit of my hope in humanity back a little
Ummm we still have like 5 million votes to count in california alone, stop posting incomplete statistics as if they are comparable to previous years full statistics
Dems unmistakeably snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, but it beggars belief that all the indictments and treason didn't undermine Trump's popularity any. The right-wing media machine must be one of the most effective brainwashing apparatuses ever to exist.
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them..."
They've told you with the "eating the dogs" comments and hundreds of other examples... They aren't afraid to confidently lie to win...
They've told you they believe they are in a way that they would die and kill to win...
Remember, years of false, unsubstantiated outrage is meant to dilute challenge to actual crimes and horror. Some things to think about...
And here's more about voting systems experts that tried to warn early about potential issues like this
We can have measured confirmation, without conspiracy. We will review this election and make evidence-based arguments.
The richest man in the world owns thousands of SW engineers that remain in his companies (after all with any morality have been purged through years of labor abuse). He joked with carlson about how he was completely fucked if trump didn't win. What do you think the richest man in the world is capable of in that moment?
People need motivation to vote. A selective tax credit or "other guy bad" simply isn't enough. You can complain all you want about how stupid people are for not voting against fascism, but if you cannot face the reality of voters and how to get them to vote then how much smarter can you really call yourself over others? This is a lesson that apparently needs to be learned every election yet never seems to be learned.
Although I've been pointing at these numbers as well, it's worth noting that the effects of the electoral college is still important.
Dem votes were up in PA and GA from 2020. Maybe other swing states as well, haven't looked. Trump's just went up more.
Either way, I think all of the brilliant minds who decided to withhold their votes for Kamala for whatever reason maybe weren't being very pragmatic given the reality of the binary outcome set.
I can believe that Trump won on the backs of "people voting only for Trump and no one else on the ballot", since Trump was running far ahead of all the other republican candidates. Means once Trump dies of old age, there will be a power vacuum. Remember, democrats have run two women and Biden in the decade span that republicans have only ran Trump.
So Trumps base is just his base. It’s the 100million plus over 18 and probably eligible to vote (extrapolated from 2020 census numbers, with 77.9% over 18) folks sitting this one out or voting 3rd party.
What were the 2016 numbers? I bet his base is right there near 74mil again.
Soooo I thought they were still counting some states? Not enough to change the outcome, but perhaps enough to change assessments about voter engagement.
Cool but pop vote means nothing in presidential election. The missing Dems were all from states that don't matter thanks to the electoral college. Harris did nearly as well, or even better than 2020 Biden in the key swing states, and of the ones she didn't do better than 2020 Biden she could have done just as well and still been beaten by 2024 Trump, who got more votes in those swing states.
Interesting Libertarian went way up the first time trump ran then back down the second time and even further the third. Does that mean they switched to trump or didn't run? What makes a libertarian dislike trump the first time but prefer him the first and second?
Green also went up the first and third time trump ran. One might assume they voted biden the second but maybe harris or not vote the third?
Democrats went up the second time trump ran but it seems lost 10 mil the third time
Appears around 12 mil voters are unaccounted for or didn't vote
