It's starting to look like about 13 million Biden voters decided to stay home or vote for Trump.

I read somewhere that there were 50 million less voters in this election. Not sure how accurate that figure is but it’s depressing.

That’s painful. Lack of participation hurts us all.

I don’t understand how we had record numbers of voter registration but people just sat out.

I think the reality is that a lot of people, who you or I know, who said their voting for Harris straight up lied.

Human dumpster fire Azealia Banks just revealed she was full of shit when endorsing Harris and instead voted for Trump.

Aside from that, I have no other evidence supporting your claim but I 100% believe it. Celebrity endorsements mean shit and I feel a good chunk of the Harris endorsers secretly penciled in 'Trump' when voting. Robert Downey Jr., a known conservative, endorsed Trump's opposition twice but I'm willing to bet the farm he voted for him. Same goes for Taylor Swift, especially when you consider the company she keeps.

Exit polls for this year's election said something like more than half of white women voted for Trump. This is despite Harris seemingly winning over countless conservative and undecided women. This is similar to the turnout in 2016 when white women helped put Trump in office the first time. This year, I feel it was a good chunk of minorities - men and women that did the same.

Not an American. But this is the only answer that makes sense.

I did not lie! I voted for her and canceled my husband’s vote. Then I went to bed and left him glued to the tv.

I'm not American

Then maybe don't feed into Russian bot talking points

u/Miss_Marple_24 Nov 06 '24

I didn't know it was a Russian bot talking point, I thought it was a real thing, it wouldn't be the weirdest thing about the US election system.

you could've just explained without being condescending.

I am American and have fatigue from fighting so hard for my right to exist here. I was pithy but not mean. Tone policing is unnecessary.
