I mean jesus christ there was a slight dip in turnout for the MAGA people but 15 million dropped off the face of the planet for the Dems from 2020. That’s gotta be fucking historic. I do hope this will be a radicalising moment for a lot of well-intentioned liberals.

They fumbled 4 states that Biden flipped, and Trump came pretty fucking close to flipping NY. If this doesn’t awaken people to the political dead end that is the Democratic party I don’t know what will.

    For added context, the LBJ to Humphrey dropoff came off the back of the Civil Rights Act, which permanently lost the democrats the South. So Biden to Harris is almost as big of a drop in support as the passing of the Civil Rights Act, except the Dems haven’t even fucking done anything this time.

    Also LMAO that the largest drop in support for the dems was the one time they did something good post 1945. Truly a satanic country y’all have there.

      I thought the civil rights act was passed before the election where LBJ had the highest margin for a hundred or two hundred years?

      I haven’t read much about the post 64 period tbh
