How do you explain the ten million voters who had no problem voting for 2020 election but disappeared for 2024?

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoAre you aware of how difficult/impossible it is for many Americans to vote? The GOP has dedicated decades to disenfranchising voters, and rigging elections via gerrymandering.
That’s why this wasn’t even close… He won by a landslide, despite the popular vote being razor-thin. He also won the last election in 2016 despite the popular vote being lost.
My country is severely fucked up at a governmental level.

Because voting got harder for those people in that time. Because you know, the government usually does something in the span of four years

So voting got harder for democrats in the four years a democrat was president.

Wow your ignorance is astonishing. I’m not even an American and I can tell you that just because there was a Democrat in the Whitehouse doesn’t mean he controls the election. It’s written pretty plainly that the states are responsible for the election. The federal government just sets out requirements, so Biden had very little effect on the voter lists. State governors have much more influence on who votes and yes, voting did get harder between 2020 and 2024.

Because states continued to gerrymander with essentially no oversight except for one supreme court ruling.

And over decades, many of you didn’t care enough to vote those stains out. Here you reap the harvest of decades of apathy, laziness, performative “patriotism” and religion. Trump was an entirely predictable circumstance.
