Surely this means we just aren't voting hard enough
90 million people didn’t vote at all. Trump won with 77 million votes. 13 million more people did nothing, than all of the people that voted for Trump.
So, not any different from any other presidential election in the USA?
There were 3 million fewer voters than in 2020. This was the most advertised election in US history, and more people sat out.
"Didn't vote" always beats out the votes for either candidate, though. A small downward shift in the numbers is probably the fault of Democrats dividing their own base by endorsing genocide.
I think in biden's first election the "didn't vote" category was beaten.
You could very well be right. My memory is like a sieve sometimes. XD
