No shit. Trump whispered sweet nothings to those outside his MAGAt base by appealing to affordability and peace. Since then, he’s followed through on exactly none of that.
In the past, people like Obama at least lied to Americans about what they would deliver as president, while shortly thereafter doing the same as Trump. Democrats in 2024 couldn’t even lie their faces off by speaking to the same points as Trump. Well, Kamala did after first when she brought Walz on board, but that quickly changed come the DNC where she said she wouldn’t diverge one bit from Biden.
Ok, so protest non-voters accounted for 800k of the non-voting population in 2024.
Want to know how many didn’t vote not because of protesting?
About 36% of eligible Americans didn’t vote either D, R, or 3rd party in 2024. That’s about 120 million Americans. 800k is less than 1% of 120mn.
You know these numbers, and you’re still telling me that the protest non-voters were the issue: not that Democrats lost 8 million voters between 2020 and 2024?
Why do you think Democrats both failed to capture more voters despite the eligible voting population increasing from 2020 to 2024, and hemorrhaged their already existing base?
I’ll wait for you to draw the conclusion that best suits your liberal comforts.
How do you know how many people who didn’t vote did so because of protest?
6 MILLION MORE PEOPLE voted for Biden than Harris. That’s a lot of people who just magically disappeared for reasons other than protest by your count. They weren’t just undecided swing voters, either, because Trump’s votes barely changed at all between 2020 and 2024.
Protest non-voters accounted for maybe 800k, while RFK accounted for 1.3m.
But sure, let’s keep blaming voters instead of the Democrats that chose to represent Republican Lite™.
Republican lite at this moment sounds a lot more refreshing than Republican nazi

I’m informing protest-non-voters what they actually voted for.

Number’s more like 700k instead of 800k. There were likely more protesters not affiliated with this movement too, but this is the main organization.
What makes you think it was magic and not a causal response to how both Biden and Harris dreadfully handled the race?
You sure are assigning a lot of stuff to me. I am informing protest non-voters what they actually voted for.
Protest non-voters, if all aligning with Kamala, would not have made a difference in the 2024 election.
You informing them does as much good as informing the entire eligible non-voting population. 800k vs 120mn.
There is no need to draw attention to their movement here unless you also take issue with the larger voting block.
Boy more. Don’t worry I’m informing protest-non-voters what they voted for for another 3.5 years. Ciao.
Will you inform non-voters as well, for they carry vastly more of the burden than protesters?
