    There’s been polling analysis that showed if you forced everyone to vote then Harris would have lost to Trump by an even bigger margin due to the unpopularity of the administration at the time. Nonvoters didn’t make a difference. Michigan was won by Trump by a bigger margin than all college students or Arabs or Muslims or any other minority group in the state.

      I think you’re trying to assign blame. Again, I am informing non-protest-voters what they voted for.

        That’s not what they voted for.

        It’s a weird world where you blame the public for not voting for a flawed candidate rather than the candidate for not being flawed. It’s like blaming an audience for not laughing at the comedian on stage.

        Harris made a conscious choice to avoid pandering to certain constituencies (in hopes it would pay off by gaining conflicted Republican voters) and that gamble went wrong as people warned it would.

          you blame

          Funny that you are still coming back almost 2 weeks later, only to ignore what I literally said, and continue on.

          And called it, you are trying assign blame. So again, I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
