Reelecting Trump is the US equivalent of Brexit - Lemmy.World

Most who voted for him are going to be quite surprised when it sucks for them too.

The difference being half of Americans actually chose this. It was not a half passed unnoficial referendum.
Wasn’t it something more like 23% of the population voted for him?
I think the point is he won both the popular and electoral. In 2016 he lost the popular vote but won the electoral anyway.
Exactly. In 2016 I gave yall the benefit of the doubt.

If you count the election as the biggest possible poll, that let’s you infer which way the non-voters would have gone.

And if you are a non-voter, that means you have declared the eventual outcome as your preferred outcome, since you did not vote otherwise.

any journal that printed a study that did polling with the methodology of this election would lose pretty much all of their credibility
No, half of Americans did not. Maybe a third chose it, while another third chose to do nothing.
The same number of Americans. Hose him this time as last time. What changed is that 13M Americans stayed at home rather than vote for Harris instead of Biden.
