Leftists did show up. That’s the real rub in all this.
The folks who stayed home were centrists without any strong allegiance, who never got their student loans forgiven or their energy bills reduced or their wages kept up with inflation.
While Harris was hobnobbing with Liz Cheney, they were door knocking for legalized abortion. While she was begging for money from Silicon Valley, they were trying to get weed decriminalized in a few more states.
And it’s not even like Dems didn’t win. Harris ran behind other statewide candidates in Arizona and North Carolina. In House districts it was even worse. Rashida Talib got twice the Harris vote count and won her district in a landslide, while Harris pandered to Israel to no avail.
I would love to see the statistics on this. Even more so if they do indeed show better electoral participation from the left. Sure, it would be a meaningless victory to see more fellow leftists looking at the big picture, but it would be something.
Only because the left didn’t show up. His base didn’t grow–it’s constant.
Dems said no leftists invited. Not crazy they didn’t show up.

Also very true. Thank you.
We’ll never know. It’s easy to think that every republican showed up, but democrats sat it out.
Edit: is there a map of of people who didn’t vote? Why am I getting downvoted lol
