Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

    because if you dont vote, you are actively pushing for the party that “repels” you, to be in power.

    That is not true. I’m not voting for someone who doesn’t appeal me and Neither Trump nor kamala did.

    Now when Trump was president he made some awful decisions… Kamala and Biden also have.

    And, in case you haven’t noticed things aren’t particularly great right now. Something that the dems have had plenty of time to fix, or work to find some kind of solution.

    For all their harping on about how important it is to stop Trump they sure never acted as though he was a credible threat, never put contingencies in place and never planned ahead for stopping it.

    In short, no matter which way you think of it. They didn’t earn my vote
