Yeah, I can see that being the case. Always gotta have an out group to hate if you’re conservative. It reminds me of the whole “People don’t want to work!” nonsense. I saw a post once that collected pictures of newspaper articles going back to the 1800s that all complained about “the kids these days” being lazy and not wanting to work. Any one of them could have been written today. I guess the tactic of focusing people’s ire has been working for quite a long time.
The stuff they said about Millennials was the same stuff they said about Gen X, minus the specifics of liking avocados. It’s the age old cycle of old people being mad that young people exist and might have different preferences. Tale as old as time, sadly.
You know, I wasn’t rude to you, so there isn’t any reason for your condescending tone.
The people that always stay home weren’t gonna come out. They never do. 2020 is said to have had historic levels of turnout and it had 2/3rds of eligible voters coming out to vote. I wouldn’t count on that last third who always sits out to suddenly realize they’re screwing themselves and everyone else. I still don’t know where the 10 million number is coming from. Who’s projections and statistics? Would it be the same people who projected that despite a close race, Harris would be the likely winner? I’m not sure they’re all that credible at the moment. I think people shifted right and I think that sucks a lot. I wish I had a solution, but I don’t. There were any number of good reasons to come out and vote for Harris, or at least against FatPutin, but here we are.
Where did you get that 11 million number? Vote totals so far are a little more than 5 million short of 2020. Everyone keeps talking about 11 million, 15 million, 20 million people who stayed home and I think it’s frankly a way to cope with the hard and gross truth that the country shifted right. Some people stayed home this year, but from all the sources I can see, it’s nowhere near 11 million, and the fascist candidate increasing his vote totals every year is very alarming. I get people who don’t want to face that. It’s scary as hell, especially if you’re in an out group. In my traditionally deeply blue state, the split gap between Harris and The Fanta Menace was like 55/45. That’s WAY too close for comfort and while people staying home is a problem, it’s not the main problem this time around.
According to Wikipedia, about 155.5 million people voted in 2020 and so far, there are about 150.2 votes counted this time (98% of votes counted). They say that in 2020 we had a 66.6% turnout, but until all the votes are counted, we don’t have a turnout number yet. That said, it seems on track to be a little lower than 2020, although not by a huge margin.
No he didn’t. At last count, he’s sitting at 77.4 million votes, which is a little more than 3 million more votes than he got in 2020 (74.2).
That’s true for all earbuds, as far as I’m concerned.
Don’t worry, some of us are still leet like jeffk, even after all these years!
9.4 million, as of the latest numbers, with Trump securing his highest vote total yet.
No he didn’t. Each election, he’s gotten more votes than the prior one.
To add to this great list, I’d recommend Blur. Imagine Mario Kart, except fair and in a realistic setting with real cars. This game was phenomenal and should have had so many sequels. Alas, it was the swan song of Bizarre Creations.
According to the Graphene OS website, the main issue isn’t even that. It’s that you can’t relock the boot loader on almost any device other than a Pixel. That leaves a huge security hole on the phone, and it’s one that almost all rooted users of other phones have open, whether they realize it or not.
Check the updated vote counts. Some states aren’t done yet and he’s already around a million or so more votes higher than 2020.
I just checked the current vote counts because everyone is repeating election night totals, which hadn’t yet accounted for a lot of votes that were still being tallied. The current difference between 2020 and 2024 is about 5.7 million votes. And they’re still not done counting in a few states. Trump won because the majority decided fascism is pretty cool, actually.
Trump is currently sitting at 75.6 million votes, with a few states still finishing off their counts. His 2020 total was 74.2 million. He’s not only already got more votes than he did in 2020, but he’s on track to eclipse that amount even further. Meanwhile Harris is at 71 million vs Biden’s 81 million. So yeah, Dem voters didn’t show up because the lives of their fellow Americans don’t really mean anything to them, but either some of them flipped for Trump or more people who typically sit out elections showed up for him. The numbers show Trump did get more popular. This is apparently what our country wants.
Almost none of the posts I’ve seen in this community do. It just seems to be a bot posting the rss feeds from various Android news sites.
Hillary was a white woman. Kamala was not. Sexism isn’t the only thing at play here.
Hahaha I was literally just debating this exact thing and then I saw this post. Guess my decision is made!
