Interesting link! Weird takeaway though. For one, it’s 67% consistently voting or not, 2/3 vs 4/5 is a big difference. Second, look at 2020. People who didn’t usually vote were most likely to vote then and they swayed dem. Probably because Trump was bad enough to make them more passionate about voting.

This shows that about a third of voters are intermittent and therefore available if people get them excited enough. I’m not saying it’s a good thing (it’s not), I’m just saying it’s a thing. Acting like they’re not important is turning your back on the people who could ultimately sway elections.

And that’s before we think about how many of the consistent non voters are apathetic vs how many just don’t have anyone they feel represents them.

The people who didn’t participate are roughly those who never do.

2020:

Biden - 81.2 million

Trump - 74.2 million

2024:

Harris: 75 million

Trump: 77.3 million

Even if we assume Trump took all 3 million extra votes from Biden’s 2020 voters, there are still 3 million Biden 2020 voters who didn’t turn out for Harris. They cared enough to vote against Trump the 2nd time, just not this time.

Anyway, you are right in the sense that those few million likely wouldn’t have tipped the election anyway. You are dead wrong that they don’t matter. Completely counterproductive lesson to take from the election

How many million people didn’t vote? And how many million would Harris have needed?

Not voting is a choice and clearly it can be an important one. Their voices exist you just don’t seem to want to listen to what they’re saying.

Sorry, did I miss something and the democrats actually won? No? Then they were pretty fucking important it seems.

Anyone who defended Biden and Harris on this never made it their problem in the first place. They didn’t care.

my problem now is a fascist dictatorship taking over my country because your movement couldn’t see more than one step ahead.

Not my movement. I still advocated voting for Harris.

And it’s actually because “your” movement thought you could convince enough people to hold their nose and vote for someone they didn’t like but you were wrong.

It’s great for you that you don’t care about the genocide going on. I bet that’s nice. It’s not so great for you that your complete and utter inability to understand your countrymen led you into this disaster. Maybe listen to well intentioned critics next time?

I know it wasn’t you personally but you see what I mean.

If people in some far off land have to die so that we can give LGBTQA+ people a place to feel safe so be it.

Thanks for this wonderful summary of exactly what was wrong with many democrat supporters in this election campaign.

They don’t have to die do they? That is the whole fucking point. How many LGBT+ people do you think would agree with this? “Yeah lots of kids died but it’s worth it as long as I am protected.”

If you don’t care about Gaza it’s fine. That’s your business. But let’s not pretend it’s some trade for the benefit of a group of people you cannot possibly speak for.

Yeah people still don’t get it. It’s sad.

This 296 page report is unfounded. No, we will not elaborate. Thank you
