Less than a third of Americans cast votes for Trump in this cycle.
- cryptonector 2y agoPerhaps the same as last cycle. Those missing 15 million voters are really suggestive.
- mp05 2y agoHe won more votes than that other person who voted. I guess that's only the "majority" when it's convenient for the argument. So you may be technically correct but really, that's the worst kind of correct.
- runako 2y agoNo you're absolutely right. I was inartfully making a claim that voter apathy is a big thing, and as a result no winner can ever really claim to represent a majority of Americans. IIRC 2020 was the only election of modern times where any candidate garnered more support than "did not vote." Putting it clearly here: neither Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan garnered support of the majority of Americans. It's not a partisan argument I am making here. A form of government where a third or 40% of the governors routinely fail to exercise their duty has problems.
