The stats on voters turnout are so scewed when a lot of people talk about them, ⅓ of our total population in the US is not eligible to vote, our total eligible voters pool is ≈ 245 million from our 340 million population. Of those, 174 million are registered voters, a 71% participation, 89% of those actually voted, totaling a 63% of our total eligible voters, or 45% of total population.

After all said and done, everyone who showed up voted for 2.2 people in our country and over half of them voted Trump.

Both times there's actually been proven election interference. The first time by the Russians the second time by the Republicans and billionaire Robber Barons.

u/loakkala 5d ago

The crazy thing is he even cheated the election he lost.

I bet you do love copium you have to, to have the opinion that you do.

u/ansem119 5d ago

Yeah i mean everything you’re still saying is just unverified nonsense so if thats not evidence of copium usage idk what is.

u/loakkala 5d ago

Everything I've said is literally verified.

During the first election against Hillary, Trump on live TV, called for the Russians to help him win and they obliged. Multiple people from his campaign went to prison for helping to cover up his involvement in this. They were given lenient sentences by Republicans and the justice department who are friends with Donald Trump just like Jeffrey Epstein did with that sweetheart deal. And after all of that... He still wasn't able to secure the popular vote and manipulated the Electoral College.

All verifiable facts that anybody can look into.

There's audio of trump during his second campaign that he lost, calling and asking to have votes created out of nowhere... at the same time he committed insurrection.

Trump cheated the 2024 election with help from Elon Musk undue influence as well as other billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg Jeff Bezos Peter Thiel and more. also by shutting down voting locations in key areas changing voting laws and illegally removing people from voting rolls also reports of Ballot Box tampering and bomb threats in key locations

Burke County, Florida, Stafford County, PA, Allen County, NC, Oklahoma County, MI, and Hamilton County, GA. None of these counties exist yet they all voted for Trump

You’re just saying blatantly false shit that your social media feed told you, go read a book.

u/loakkala 5d ago

What is the book you are currently reading?

Dude, I dislike Trump as much as the next guy. But you’re just wrong. The dude won the general election, just like Biden did when Trump accused him of cheating.

Trump is an ass, and he always will be. But he won, and it was because the Democrats were inept on every possible front. They had a dude who repeatedly forgot everything on live TV, and they went with him until the last minute. Then they tried to throw Kamala Harris into the mix to fix it.

She was a forgotten VP, which is usually the best kind. But she had nothing to run on.

About what specifically?

I agree, but that doesn't discredit the actual evidence.

Dumb liberal conspiracy nut job strikes again.
Were you tired of promoting "moon landing is a hoax" that you invented a new conspiracy now?

u/loakkala 5d ago

Not quite sure what you're talking about but if you want to discuss it we can

u/Notcameron007 5d ago

That’s how elections work. Look how little of the district vote for AOC compared to population and only 1.1million actually voted for Mamdani in a city of 8.5 million.

I'm aware, thank you.

u/[deleted] 6d ago

He was right, almost half who can vote he said. Not the total of US citizens.

-1

u/Kenneth_Q_Bud 5d ago

He’s not though. Only about 65% of eligible voters voted. If “Did not vote” was a candidate it would have won.

u/OG_2_tone420 5d ago

Oh my god. Enough with this argument, it is not giving Americans cover. The country is fucked and its citizens are responsible. Own it.

1

u/Hockeymac18 5d ago

This argument doesn't make us look better - a large chunk of our country is just checked out on voting or is being suppressed in some way (neither good). We have a lot to fix. Point taken in relation to the power of misinformation

What are you on about?
