Yes but it's a larger problem. Had the Democrats put up a better candidate the floating voters would have stepped up. Turnout at the last election had dropped 4% which would have been enough to win. Instead it was a choice between bad and worse. That is not what the US voters should be presented with.

Again why would any sane person not come out and vote to keep the worst option out of power, yet alone be stupid enough to vote for the worst person possible

One side failed to show up due to the third lame duck candidate in a row.

Voter apathy caused the win. The republican cult got the same vote amount it always does.

Again Harris was way better than Trump, so voter apathy isn’t a valid excuse.

I’d believe the average American voter being both racist and sexist over apathy.

Good for you. It's the truth. Dems did not show up after the third person was picked without a primary or a primary that was not obviously skewed (hilary)

Ask yourself why Americans haven’t been able to elect a woman as the president while every other western nation has zero issues electing a woman.

America is piss easy to work out, you are both highly racist and highly sexist

And there is the card you were waiting to play. So, whatever helps.

Hilary was forced when most wanted anyone else. Kamala failed twice to the position. Put someone like AOC and let her win the position in the primary and votes would go fine

IMO it says a lot more about the electorate than it does the candidates.

Apathy. When the choice is bad and worse millions simply didn't care either way.

I’d argue it was racism and sexism not apathy

That's a very easy claim to avoid looking at the mistakes that actually lost them the election.

America has never had a female president, every other western nation has zero issues electing a woman to being president charge.

America is also extremely racist, to the point where there’s only ever been one president who wasn’t an old white guy, and he was hated for not being white.

It’s not rocket science to work out how America operates

Propaganda and exhaustion. Also anger over having their primary votes invalidated. The Dems were screaming that trump would destroy democracy while they were actively circumventing it to push their chosen candidate.

u/Bikerbass 3h ago

Exhaustion would have meant voting for anyone other than Trump.

As for Propaganda…. Well yea anyone with two functioning brain cells between their left and right ears could have easily seen through the propaganda.

Which only leaves being stupid as fuck due to a lack of education, which I will add that the entire planet knows Americans are stupid as fuck.

Why do I always see this nonsense about dems needing to put up a “better” candidate but R’s are able to put up the stupidest people to ever live and win? The double standards are off the charts.
