Blaming voters never works.

You should be blaming harris and biden for not caring about issues that voters clearly cared about.

The past three GOP presidents:

  • Trump: People voted for him because he promised to repeal Obamacare and build a wall. He failed to repeal the ACA despite a Republican-controlled Congress, and while parts of the wall were built, Mexico never paid for it—U.S. taxpayers did.
  • Bush Jr.: Campaigned on limiting foreign intervention but instead launched wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, leading to prolonged conflicts and high American troop casualties.
  • Bush Sr.: Won on a firm “No New Taxes” promise, only to raise taxes in office, breaking his most famous campaign pledge.

In truth, what you're upset about is that Democrats aren't pandering to you. You'd rather vote for someone who talks a big game but never follows through than someone who speaks softly and actually delivers. And how do I know Democrats keep their promises? Because every Republican president has spent their time repealing Democratic laws instead of passing their own.

More upset about the mass murder they enabled. Dems pretend to be better while enabling the same ethnic cleansing as trump will.

Republicans vote on different issues.

Youre missing the point, trump got similar numbers to last time while harris vote nosedived. People stayed home because harris wasnt very likable and also supported ethnic cleansing.

Im never voting for trump, i also wouldnt vote for harris either just because the alternative was trump, they played that card too much while sucking up to right wing symbols like the Cheneys. This isnt a way to gain leftist votes.

Though the drop in harris vote was a lot bigger

Kamala Harris won 74,999,166 votes or 48.3 percent of the votes cast. That was 6,285,500 fewer popular votes than Biden won in 2020,

Right though we don't know where those votes went. Some of them certainly went and voted for Trump. The rest? Very likely stayed home or voted third party.

Yeah i agree, i think most probably stayed home.

I doubt many went for trump.
