It is demoralizing to see that a failed President now as a convicted criminal is suddenly & against the odds re-elected

There was no fraud, the effect was in all districts, all states, look at blue states like Virginia and NJ. There was no electoral college issue. Our side did not show up to vote

The 'debates' of where we gained or lost votes on our side in demographics

IS POINTLESS reshuffling of the deck chairs when Titanic is sinking

WE LOST ONE IN TEN OF OUR OWN VOTERS

That means EVERY election up and down the ticket is lost. Catastrophe

The demographics argument is useless

On Republican side, their slight increase in total vote vs 2020, is just the natural population growth

There WAS a vote against Trump, this was partly cancelled by RETURN VOTERS from 2020, who voted against Trump (for Biden) and now disillusioned with Biden - WENT HOME ie back to Trump (???) yes

How did we not SEE one in 10 Democrat voters sitting this 2024 election out?

Because of 2 opposite effects which hid that disaster

We had very successful early vote. So many of our REGULAR voters instead of voting on election day, voted early. That SHIFT masked the drop in total D turnout of 10%

Trump did not win this election

We lost this election

Our side did not bother to vote. 1 in 10 of our voters did not show up

Trump was headed to epic defeat, at 46% of vote. Instead, when 1 in 10 of our voters didn't vote, Harris victory at 52% turned into a loss at 48%

We gave him this victory

I know we are all in shock

What happened? Turnout. Our voters did not turn out

2020 was a huge surge election. Trump matched his 2020 turnout

But our voters did not show up, we lost 1 in 10 voters from 2020 level

Turnout is down maybe 4%. In low turnout elections we lose up and down the ticket
