  This a good reminder that not voting is also a political position.

  I think your math is a little bit off though.

  There were ~244 million eligible voters in 2024. 75,017,613 voted for Harris*, which gives us ~169 million that allowed this to happen.

  *The only other viable candidate, like it or not.

    Whoops, fixed. My keyboard somehow gave the blame to non-eligible voters too.

      Maybe we shouldn’t be letting them off so easy.

  It’s more like ~170 million. That’s the population that didn’t vote for Harris (i.e., voted Trump, voted third party, or did not vote) despite being eligible to vote.
