    Had those missing voters participated in good faith in 2024, Trump would not be president today.

    The problem with this argument is that it ignores the effects of Covid-19. A not-insignificant number of people who voted in 2020 didn’t vote in 2024 because they had died since then. I did the math once, and it’s buried somewhere in my comment history (I’m at work at the end of my break. I’ll look for it when I’m able to.)

    EDIT: Found the comment where I did the math. In the end, over 716,000 people died of Covid in the United States between 2020 and Dec 2024 (the time that comment was written, and the closest I could find date-wise at the time.)

      No it doesn’t, or the republican votes would have gone down too. Lol, I was very clear that all of the loss was on the democratic side. Your theory doesn’t hold up.
