88 Million People Didn't Vote in the 2024 US Presidential Election

[TRUEST]

I agree with this when I was in Detroit last month for my wife’s sisters birthday a lot of them nikkaz didn’t care about it and said they weren’t voting for no one.

Potential votes that I will be mining.

I'm not sure if you making a joke or not but I've been saying black men in heavy metro areas sitting out or voting Trump because "we ate during Covid" will make a difference. The Coli didn't want to hear it.

NC and GA could be comfortably blue right now. Milwaukee and Detroit/Grand Rapids cats should be making Wisconsin and Michigan unquestionable.

57 points in the air.

I'm not talking about Mississippi or Louisiana, though truth be told, as black as those states are, maybe those could flip. Those are not the states I'm talking about.

Georgia has 16 electoral votes. Yes. As I stated in the megathread

Stop focusing on raw total numbers and look at the population centers of these key battleground states being heavily anchored by black people.

PA anchored by Philly and to a lesser extent Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.

Wisconsin anchored by Milwaukee.

NC by Charlotte/Raleigh/Durham/Winston-Salem.

Michigan by Detroit/Grand Rapids.

Georgia's black turnout was only 50% and I'm sure the majority of the absent 50% was men thinking their vote doesn't matter.

I updated my voter registration at the dmv weeks prior and voted for my bed on election day...

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

A lot of folks don't realize how much the government affects their lives.

I look forward to these folks suffering when that Medicare and Medicaid benefits aren't hitting anymore.

A lot of folks going to be crying cause their parents & grandparents about to f*cked.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I think 60% of voting eligible population vote on average. Even less in primaries.
And people wonder why we get crappy politicians and they are able to get away with shyt

Voting in the local elections matter so much, man...

 

[Big Boss]

folks feel like both sides are the same

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Voting in the local elections matter so much, man...

I know around my way even less people vote in local elections

The problem with "bothsiders" is that they want the world to change overnight. They refuse to accept the fact that progress takes time. You're not gonna get everything you want at one time. shyt is a process. Yes, it's draining. Yes, it's frustrating. But that's how things get done. Nowhere in history does positive change come to society easily.

But another thing "bothsiders" don't get is this: progress can easily be reversed when we become apathetic.

When Rome transitioned to Republic to Empire a lot of plebs didn't give af because they were poor no matter who had power

At least Ceasar gave us games

People really underestimate how 1) dumb & 2) lazy folks in this country are.

And y'all underestimate how 3) fed up everybody is

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

And y'all underestimate how 3) fed up everybody is

So fed up, that they let Trump win. I refuse to argue with idiots

 

[Peruvian Connect]

Basically, I used to be on the 'non voters are stupid!' train. But I completely understand their stance. Having a low tolerance for blatant corruption and not participating is admirable. I believe everyone should vote but I no longer vilify non-voters. I understand where they are coming from and they are not stupid.

But they are.... That defeatist shiit is counter productive. They not gonna vote, they not going to do anything else to get the changes they seek. It's weak as fucck.

Ok learn nothing then

It's funny whenever these smug threads pop up where nikkas wax about how much smarter they are than everyone else.

You would would think y'all would use some of that superior intellect to try to pinpoint apathetic people's issues and find a solution, thus gaining new potential allies in the voting booth

But y'all would rather stick to the pleasures of your high horsing so aight

There are several reasons why a significant number of registered voters in the United States choose not to participate in elections. Here are some of the most common factors:

1. Lack of Interest or Apathy: Some individuals feel disengaged from the political process. They may believe that politics does not directly affect their lives or that their single vote won't make a difference in the outcome.
2. Disillusionment with Politics: Voters may feel disenchanted with the candidates or the political system as a whole. Concerns about corruption, negative campaigning, or unfulfilled promises can lead to a sense of cynicism.
3. Perceived Barriers to Voting:
   • Time Constraints: Work schedules, family responsibilities, or other commitments can make it difficult for people to get to the polls on Election Day.
   • Accessibility Issues: For some, polling locations may be inconveniently located, or they may face challenges due to disabilities.
   • Long Lines and Wait Times: The prospect of waiting for extended periods can deter people from voting.
4. Lack of Information: Some registered voters may feel they do not have enough information about the candidates or issues to make an informed decision.
5. Registration and Identification Issues: Even if registered, voters might face problems such as outdated registration due to recent moves, or they may lack the required identification documents.
6. Voter Suppression Concerns: Instances of voter suppression—such as strict ID laws, purging of voter rolls, or misinformation about voting procedures—can prevent or discourage people from voting.
7. Health and Mobility Challenges: Illness, disability, or lack of transportation can physically prevent individuals from reaching polling stations.
8. Alienation from the Political Process: Some groups feel that their interests are not represented by any of the candidates, leading them to abstain from voting.
9. Cultural and Social Factors: In some communities, there may be less emphasis on the importance of voting due to historical disenfranchisement or a lack of outreach by political campaigns.
10. Lack of Trust in the Electoral System: Concerns about the integrity of elections, such as fears of fraud or doubts about whether votes are accurately counted, can discourage participation.

Trump had the whole country shut down and people still said I'll take some more of that. Then try to act like they showed those damn libs.
