    The guy won the popular vote. The people who sat the election out would probably have broken for Trump too.

    The problem here isn’t voter turnout, it’s voter preference for a fascist.

      Actually, the problem appears to be exactly voter turn out. With a healthy heaping of Neo-Liberal rot in the Democratic Party.

        Sure, because everyone who stayed home was a democrat. Every Republican voted.

          Republican voter base is most likely to have the motivation or resources or both to go to the voting booth to vote for Drumpf. All other voters need a convincing reason to lose out their paycheck to go vote at risk of losing their job. Dems and Kamala are to blame. Not the voters.
