Hello, full-priced insurance (with guaranteed double-digit-percent annual increases) for entrepreneurs and other "unemployed" people. Millions will fall off the rolls. All according to plan, since healthcare is not a right. Yep, some of the least healthy, most obese people I know are folks who tend to vote MAGA. Those of us who are older and have life defining illnesses might as well just take our Soylent Green like “good citizens” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatkoVarda Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Covid rules made it easier to vote, so people who did not vote in 2016 and would not vote in 2024, did vote in 2020 because ballots were sent to them, so they voted, but otherwise they don't vote because they cannot bothered, or both parties are the same, or it does not affect me, or whatever. no conspiracy theory is necessary; except for 2020 (63%), about 50-55% of eligible voters vote over the last 50 years 2028 will look like 2024 and 2016 and all the other elections (except one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't go blue but probably a lot of them did stay home or not vote the top of the ticket, which should have been enough. If Trump was down 3 million and even a third of Harris/Biden deficit was defections to Trump that means Trump lost closer to 10M of *his* 2020 voters. That may well be a lot of the Haley voters.

RedTeamGo! Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Kinda feels like the DNC is cooked. It seems like the youth is breaking to the right. The left has already lost older americans. I mean, the right is going after women's rights and they didn't even do that well with women this election. Kind of seems like America is broken. Unless you are on the right, then happy time, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you live in NJ now, Sue, but I suspect NY is still in your heart. I don’t think you can get out of likes. When a like refuses to register for me I just click the refresh button on my iPhone and it resets things so I can. I can do a vast number of likes and then finally it doesn’t seem to work, but when I refresh, I start all over again. Although I have moderator privileges so that may not applied to everyone, I don’t really know for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigeraholic1 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 45 minutes ago, gehringer_2 said: If you assume from the drop in D votes for Harris that at least some % of Biden voters moved to Trump and Trump still got fewer votes than in 20, that means the fall off in maga land evidenced in the half empty rallies and the number of GOPer that came out for Harris was real. So the election was there for the taking but the Dems lost 20M Biden voters. Hard to fathom. The fear on the blue side was always that the Dems could duplicate 2020 but somehow Trump could win by energizing more white guys to come out, but that does not appear to be what happened at all. Most straight up conclusion is that Obama's democratic coalition had a lot more people who won't vote for a woman than won't vote for a POC. More misogynists than racists. I guess there is a certain logic to that on the blue side but it's still disappointing With all that was on the line this round 20 million people sat out? That is crazy to think.

Sports_Freak Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Trump told everyone a month ago he had all the votes he needed. Is Kamala going to accept this loss or will she call on BLM and Atifa to disrupt the certification? I mean, it was obviously rigged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 One of my daughters lives in West Hollywood. This is what she texted me today. At the time she was with her fiancé a woman. The MAGA cretins are rubbing it in “I just went to an appointment at my dermatologist and as I got in the elevator, there was an older man and woman and the woman looked at us both and asked if it was a happy morning or a sad morning, and the man said he was elated” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Have to see when the votes are tallied, but I'm guessing there was low turnout in the big blue states like California and New York. She's only +17 in California right now. New Jersey is only +5 and Illinois +8. I wonder if Dem voters moved to Trump in those states, or they just didn't turn out? For instance, with 91% counted in Illinois, there's about 1 million fewer votes, most of them coming off Harris total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades of Deivi Cruz Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 It doesn't even matter. At the end of the day, she lost because a large percentage of the population prefers a weak, thin-skinned, narcissist with anger issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a product of the electoral college system also... if people not in a swing state think their vote doesn't count much, then they might figure it doesn't matter if they go out or not. Let's face it-it kind of sucks when you know that who will be represented by is dependent on only a handful of states. I would never not vote-especially since there are other races to consider. I can't speak for others. Or, they figure (and I do believe it's people left of center most likely to do this) that since the candidate of the majority party is going to win anyway, they might as well vote third party.

That's always been the case for states like Illinois and New York, and they still turned out for Biden and Clinton. One theory that seems to be making a lot of sense right now is that Abbott busing migrants worked. There was a rightward shift in New York City and Chicago.

Tiger337 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 (edited) 2 hours ago, Tigeraholic1 said: Can someone please explain this graph? You wonder why republicans did not trust the 2020 results. It is useless to compare 2012/2016 to 2020/2024 since it was a lot easier to vote in the latter period. As for 2020 vs 2024, the data are not complete yet and the data bars will be higher for both blue and red, most likely a lot higher. Or maybe the Repbublicans cheated in 2024. I have no idea if they did, but it's just as valid to say that they cheated in 2024 as it is to say that the Democrats cheated in 2020.
