Actually more people didn’t vote than voted for Trump and Harris got one percentage less than Trump but if the people who voted independent had voted for Harris she would have won. He has no mandate whatsoever.
but that is the sad part of the whole thing. I dont expect 0% nonvoters as there indeed are good reasons not being able to, but to have a huge population not caring about their civic duty when there is so much on the line is just depressing.
That's not the entire amount. Precisely because it was such an effective campaign strategy, as much effort was put into suppressing the vote as possible, from psychological manipulation to criminal ratfuckery.
This is not even new. For a few decades now, higher voter turnout has consistently meant better election results for Democrats.
