I just checked the current vote counts because everyone is repeating election night totals, which hadn’t yet accounted for a lot of votes that were still being tallied. The current difference between 2020 and 2024 is about 5.7 million votes. And they’re still not done counting in a few states. Trump won because the majority decided fascism is pretty cool, actually.
Don’t get mad at me. It’s not my fault the Democratic Party ignored a good portion of the country to pick up a handful of disaffected conservatives instead of courting any sort of progressive base. Which rightly blew up in their faces and helped make Harris deeply unpopular candidate to many.
Fucking Dick Cheney endorsed Harris. That easily pushed more left leaning people away from Harris. Dick Cheney, the guy who pushed the US to invade Iraq to get those pesky WMD’s… And we’re still dealing with the fallout of that decision.
I voted, but millions of Americans did not. That’s why Trump won. That, and the Democrats ignoring their base in favor of picking up a handful of disaffected conservatives.
You obviously don’t understand what fascism is. I recommend Umberto Eco’s essay "Ur-Fascism"as a good primer. Maybe read that before you make anymore ignorant comments like this one.
So why would you not vote fascism lite? If you have two viable choices, and one is a worse version of the other, what possible benefit do you get for not increasing the odds of the less bad one? Fascism lite is taking the foot off the accelerator on fascism, which gives more opportunities to correct course. Fascism full flavor is flooring the pedal, and only makes it harder to do that. Voting for neither does not reduce the chances of one of the two winning.
It was Fascism vs. Fascism Lite
Democrats aren’t great. At all. But to call them fascists is just ridiculous. They’re just liberal capitalists.
Shit like this is why Trump won.
I voted.
But something like 16 million fewer Americans voted this year compared to 2020. That’s an insanely large number of people who simply didn’t vote.
Thats why Trump won.

Thanks for updated numbers
Those people didn’t vote because people like you convinced them there was no difference and therefore no point in voting.
It’s asshats like you that put us here, congrats!

May as well not vote, right?

I wonder if the constant “both sides” bullshit has something to do with why millions of Americans didn’t vote
