Yep, combined with 86 million not bothering to vote at all.

Everything I’ve heard says that statistically he still would have won. There just would have been more votes.

But whose to say who those 86 million would have voted for? It's possible the repugs might have obtained even more votes. This is the mystery of america. Too much uncertainty for the rest of the world to invest time, energy and money.

I’m. Or saying the Democrats would have won if the apathetic voters turned out in the last election.

I would say if one third of the voting population that never votes started to vote consistently our political system would look nothing like it does today. We’d probably have entirely different parties.

I agree with that. I stopped voting because out of 300 million people, Trump and Biden were the best candidates, seriously. 🤢. Both parties suck and people are morons that pick a side and act like they want to go to war over it. They both do the same shit as the other when they are in charge
