The Electoral College is the source of so many voting issues now, as pointed out last night by Laurence O'Donnell there are millions of voters in NY and CA that don't vote there because the results in those states are foregone conclusions.

Wouldn't that apply to both Dems and Reps in those two states?

would equally apply to deep red states as well... why would someone in wyoming or alabama bother voting?

Under the rules of the game we lost fair and square.

It’s obviously very raw right now. It sucks. We just got to keep putting one foot in front of the other and better days will come.

making the rounds on twatter:
 
2020
Biden: 81 million votes
Trump: 74 million votes

2024
Trump: 71 million votes
Harris: 66 million votes

wow
If true is jaw dropping
It “felt” like the Dems were going to turn out
That is a crazy reduction after all that has transpired in the last 4 years
I’m despondent over this more than anything


I doubt the voter apathy on Democratic side was due to Kamala being installed . I really don’t think that had  much of an impact

Democrats gave people nothing to vote for…just something to vote against.

And votes are being counted.

And trust me: Biden would not have ran on “joy”

this i whole heartedly agree with


I also think this take is correct

@vlasicdaniel
The Republicans basically owning cable news, Tik Tok, Youtube, podcasts, Twitter, etc... cancelled out any traditional advantages that the Dems had.

I always felt the GOP was low tech and way behind the curve on these kinda things
But they really garnered at ton of support via these new platforms

One block from the Wh today
