    Voter turnout among Democrats this year was 10 million lower than in 2020, while Republican turnout barely changed. Trump won the popular vote by about 3.5 million. TBF it’s unknown how many Democrats didn’t vote because they were purged off voter rolls, and how many simply refused to participate because Harris didn’t satisfy their moral purity standards. But based on the consistent failure by Republicans to win their election restricting lawsuits, my strong guess is that it’s those 10 million fuckheads who did this to us. Zero tolerance doesn’t work, folks, You don’t walk barefoot across broken glass because you didn’t like the choices of shoes.

      It’s also in line with 2012 and 2016 participation levels for Dems. It seems like the GOP have a reliable voting base while dems need a pandemic or a monumental candidate like Obama to bother showing up to the polls.

        Very succinct. I’m reminded of Michael Moore’s comparison -

        democrats: “What should we do about dinner?” “Um, we could go out.” “Do you want to go out?” “I dunno, do you?” “Well, if you do…” “Okay, where should we go?” “I dunno, where do you wanna go?”

        republicans: <slams hand loudly on table> “Git in the car, we’re goin’ to the Sizzler!”
