Just something that’s worth pointing out is that trumps voter base didn’t change much. Counting is still happening, but so far it’s trump -1 mil and Harris -13 million from last election.

So it’s not so much that republicans voted badly it’s that democrats lost a good chunk of votes (16%) didn’t bother to vote this time.

And while I completely disagree with trumps side, it’s insane, but at least I am happy that people voted. Voter apathy is far more dangerous to me. It’s like saying to politicians, “I don’t care that the nazi party is coming to power”.

To me that’s the biggest issue this election and honestly I don’t understand why so few people cared. It’s actually same story over here (UK), where we had fewer people voting this election than previous one.

Thank you, that video helps!

Nah don’t worry this was your first and last election anyway

Well there’s 15millipn fewer democrat votes this time around. Leftists or not, 15 million decided to stay at home period

An angle I read on this, is most likely the ones who are citizens (and allowed to vote) were affluent enough to emigrate legitimately and don’t want illegal poor people coming over. Latinos in Americas tend to be more conservative/ perhaps religious? I am told.

The biggest takeaway from the election so far for me (the votes are still being counted), it doesn’t look like trump got any new votes, he lost something like 1-2 mil from last time but the main issue is that Harris lost 15mil voters.

Quelle surprise

Donno, modern people seem to be content with whatever is happening around them. Last UK election we had fewer overall votes even though it’s still important. So far it looks like US election had 18milliom fewer votes than last time…

I am distraught as to how people can care so little

So the answer there is to pick the worst initially? Like how would that be helpful?

But more than that, what annoys me more is that this time around (so far) there were 18 million fewer votes. That hits hard 😭😔

I am confused, which candidate was young and charismatic there?

And trump really cares about the voters by passing laws that help them and not the billionairs who financed his campaign?

I am from UK, don’t really like labour but seriously another conservative government would leave us far, far worse off than plain do nothing shit. It’s not rocket science to figure out who will want to at the least do nothing instead you know sell off your already rubbish worker rights, broken healthcare and now reproductive rights…

Anyway this is a depressing day
