She makes a great few points, no? So I have to ask: What the hell is wrong with half the voters?

@georgetakei They want you to think it's half the voters. It's not. It was 45% in 2020, and it's falling. They know it. That's why they're attacking democracy.

The "half of all voters" thing just legitimizes them.

@DanaBlankenhorn @georgetakei
Exactly. It’s not half:

Trump received more than 74 million votes while Biden received more than 81 million - so 48% :)

I think it better to ask, why did 74 million vote for Trump? Are they all incapable of critical thinking?

@JoeStewart

This is exactly what I have been asking myself since 2016. I think it might be tunnel vision, selective thinking that support personal interests rather than the democracy of a society.

@DanaBlankenhorn @georgetakei while unfortunate that a good percentage of people don’t vote, it’s also relevant in that it’s definitely not half of Americans.

@tvnred @georgetakei It's not even half of those who bother to vote.
