32% of the voting population voted for Trump

[CopiousX]

38% stayed at home and 30% voting for Harris

We are at where we are because we let 32% of the voting eligible population decide the direction to take this country.

Not necessarily. You are dramaticizing the issue. The number of impactful voters is far smaller than that 38 percent since only the swing state voters mattered. The rest of the nonvoters are swallowed up by their state's population metrics.

The winner take all thing is a little demoralizing for the rest of us in nonswing states. For example, i personally didnt bother voting because im in a red state that would give every single electoral delegate to Trump. Every single senator would be republican and most of the reps would be too due to gerrymandering nullifying my vote before it was cast.

Its the same reason why the democratic party didnt even bother with voter outreach in my state

But ironically i live in a blue city that would vote democrat overwhelmingly no matter what i did. So mayors, councilmen, and even dog catchers will only compete on being as liberal as possible, and i have no issue with that. So my vote would have no impact whatsoever in locals either.


The only real merit in me, a democrat in a republican state, casting a vote in the presidential election was to make a statement. But i dont particular care for hollow gestures so this wasnt a motivator for me. Itd be different if i lived in Michigan or Carolina or Georgia. Thats why their turnout is high. But For as long as i live where i live, voting will unfortunately be a spectator sport .

It's also not a coincidence that the swing states are amongst the highest % voter turnout. If people feel like their vote means something, they will go out and vote.

Swing states aren't set in stone. Any of those lower turnout states can be a swing state if more people came out. I would wager that most red states are red because the majority of the population doesn't show up.

These type of threads have completely taken over TLR to the point that it’s hard to even lurk there anymore.

There really needs to be a mega thread for all of these threads at this point.

We are going to look back at these times remembering life pre-Jan 20 2025

70% of people better be ready to get active in a few days or weeks at this point

I'm not doing anything but stacking and getting my business in order this is what America voted for and it's what America is going to get.


All empires fall sooner or later. I hate that me and my people have to be in the middle of this but it is what it is. The country voted for Trump twice so it's only fair people get what they voted for. I'll still vote against Trump and his ilk on GP if we're lucky enough to have future elections, but I'm at the point where I don't really feel like the country is worth trying to save anymore.

If we're being honest, the less power America has, the better it probably is for humanity in the long term.

Reason I made this thread. It's less America voted for this but more it allowed this to happen

My fukking homeboi was bragging that he didn't vote as of that resolves him from Trump bullshyt. I didn't know he didn't vote until last weekend.

I told dude, yes you did vote, a no vote is a vote. That means you down for whatever. You never go to restaurant and say give me whatever, why would you do that with democracy.

My girl cousin told me her friend whole household didn't vote. That's at least 3 over 18 years of age bodies. Now she sending her screenshots of Trump's actions that impacting her immediate family. She told her to not send her nothing else because she didn't vote.
