Comment on How do Americans win their country back?

  They haven’t finished counting that’s why. Rural areas are faster to count and skew conservative.

  A republican hasn’t won the popular vote in 20 years. Trump is projected to win but like last time he’ll lose the popular vote and win by virtue of the electoral college.

    All the projections I’m seeing him show him almost certainly winning the popular vote. There’s a gap of 6 million votes and almost every state is over 90% reported in. That gap is going to likely shrink a bit, but unfortunately it almost certainly won’t be enough for him to even lose the popular vote.

    Lets face it, we’re (assuming you’re american) apparently just a country of facists. It looks like GOP is going to have majority in both houses too so here comes project 2025 I guess.

      Sorry bud, not a yank. You have my sympathies though.

      If it turns out that he does indeed win the popular vote then yeah I’m sorry for your loss. A nest of at least 50% fascists or fascist enablers.

      Heart aches for those that did their civic duty and yet have to suffer the repercussions :(

    It looks like turnout is way down compared to last election. Trump is pulling about the same amount he did last time ( maybe a few million down, but there are still results to get). Harris is currently down 18M from where Biden was.

    Trump’s support is no larger than it was last time. Harri,s supporters just didn’t show up

      Anyone who didn’t show up is not a Harris supporter.
