    The missing 10 million Biden voters is a silly talking point, leads to entitled questions, and reaching infantile and politically impotent conclusions. Are you so dense that you don’t know how electoral college works?

      I’m sure we could break it down by state… But the missing voters is THE thing that swung this election. Figuring out the true reason those people sat this one out should be everyone’s top priority.

          Georgia: Biden won by 11,779, Kamala lost by 115,100= -126,879 difference … Trump 2020 2,461,854 vs 2024 2,663,117= +201,263… So Biden no shows wouldn’t have changed this one (assuming they stayed home and didn’t vote for Trump)… If they did go vote for Trump then only 74,384 were actual no shows, also wouldn’t have made a difference.

          North Carolina: Biden lost by 74,483, Kamala lost by 183,048= -105,565 difference… Trump 2020 2,758,775 vs 2024 2,898,428 = +139,653 So Biden no shows wouldn’t have changed this one (assuming they stayed home and didn’t vote for Trump)… If they did go vote for Trump then only 34,088 were actual no shows, also wouldn’t have made a difference.

          Michigan: Biden won by 154,188, Kamala lost by 80,618= -234,806 difference… Trump 2020 vs 2024= +154,795= So Biden no shows would have changed this one (assuming they stayed home and didn’t vote for Trump)… If they did go vote for Trump then only 80,011 were actual no shows, also wouldn’t have made a difference.

          Alright, I concede… In only some of the swing states would the Biden no shows have changed the results. The electoral college is garbage.

          I think finding out whether the Biden no shows actually stayed home or went out to vote for Trump is important. And the people that definitely stayed home, why?

          Either way, Dems should stop trying to court the right who might swing Dem one election but then swing maga the next… Court the left, at least they’ll only swing between showing up or not showing up. As much as libs like to say not voting= voting for Trump, it’s far less of a vote for Trump than an ACTUAL vote for Trump.
