    1st, gerrymandering has nothing to do with the presidential election. It was obvious from your post you know very little about US elections.

    Next, there were 8.2 million fewer votes in 2024 than 2020. All of that loss was on the democratic side. Do you have evidence literally millions of voters were disenfranchised?

    Had those missing voters participated in good faith in 2024, Trump would not be president today.

      So gerrymandering — which has facilitated the stealing of state elections and influenced state laws for decades, including around the handling of elections, purging of legitimate voters, disenfranchisement, etc — has no effect on federal elections whatsoever?

      Please continue to libsplain me on my knowledge of US politics… I’m sure you’re able to see the big picture and long term trends; not simply as confidently ignorant as 99% of D’s I’ve dealt with on social media for the last 2 decades. Keep up the stellar work, champ!

        Lol, I say one thing and you answer another. Just like you did with the original post. THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IS THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, NOT FEDERAL ELECTIONS AS A WHOLE.

        If I say it slower, will that help you understand? Quit changing the fucking topic to try and make your point. And as I pointed out, please let me know when you find evidence 8.2M people tried to vote but couldn’t.

          Who’s a big boy? You are! The fascists don’t stand a chance in the face of your unbridled intellect.

            Hahahahaha

            Such wonderful arguments you present. I’m glad you believe you add so much to this discussion you need to brigade your own fake votes.

      The problem with this argument is that it ignores the effects of Covid-19. A not-insignificant number of people who voted in 2020 didn’t vote in 2024 because they had died since then. I did the math once, and it’s buried somewhere in my comment history (I’m at work at the end of my break. I’ll look for it when I’m able to.)
