    Actually yes they did vote trump, studies show that only 20% voted harris. Not to mention the article quite literally is quoting these folks’ justification for voting trump. The remainder was split between the green party (you know that party that doesn’t do ANY down ballot initiatives and only shows up in swing states in presidential elections) and trump.

    This is ignoring the fact that not voting in a swing state is pretty much the same thing as voting for the other person because the race is so close.

    It didn’t help trump directly but it did help him win.

      Despite breathless accusations by idiots, not voting does not equal a vote for the other side.

          Nope. Hold on, let’s wait a minute and see… Still no.

          It turns out that you have to earn your votes in a democracy. I know that seems weird but it’s true.

      As opposed to how many Trump voters and how many non/third party voters?

            They didn’t answer the question. Or they answered only the bit that backs their point and ignored the question.

            How many people didn’t vote is the more important metric here.

            Also using the phrase sea lioning for people pointing out that genociding a requisite party of a winning coalition in a swing state is bad electoral strategy is both pathetically sad, and disgusting.

            Genocide is not something that can be sea looked, and if you think it is then you’re perfectly fine with genocide.
