"Voters in liberal strongholds across the country, from city centers to suburban stretches, failed to show up to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris at the levels they had for Joseph R. Biden Jr. four years earlier, contributing significantly to her defeat by Donald Trump,” the New York Times reports.

“Counties with the biggest Democratic victories in 2020 delivered 1.9 million fewer votes for Ms. Harris than they had for Mr. Biden. The nation’s most Republican-heavy counties turned out an additional 1.2 million votes for Mr. Trump this year, according to the analysis of the 47 states where the vote count is largely complete.”

“The drop-off spanned demographics and economics. It was clear in counties with the highest job growth rates, counties with the most job losses and counties with the highest percentage of college-educated voters. Turnout was down, too, across groups that are traditionally strong for Democrats — including areas with large numbers of Black Christians and Jewish voters.”

    Do you seriously think that Trump’s campaign “mobilized voters”?

    Your cognitive dissonance is insane if so.

    He lied and promised shit he had no intention of delivering on. Hands fucking down.

          I mean, he explicitly wanted to turn it into an establishment vs. outsider election, and she went ahead and helped him! She wanted to win as “we are the establishment that made everything as it is” in a country with most people only agreeing on one single thing, the establishment being bad.

          How stupid is that?

      Why do you believe that what he did wasn’t mobilization? Enough people voted for him that he won, that’s called mobilization.
