    It’s close to that. Another metric is 15 million fewer people voted Kamala than Biden last election. Trumps numbers stayed the same.

    15 million people just fucking gave up.

      Trump’s numbers didn’t stay the same. Despite winning the popular vote, Donald trump had 2 million less voters than in 2020. That’s a hefty chunk.

      It just doesn’t matter, because 15 million other voters also didn’t show up.

        Okay, sure, so that defines that there was overall voter apathy. So Harris lost 85% of the voters who didn’t bother showing up. That’s even more damning.
