you need to make sure you get Waco47 in here... think of the comradery. You can share milkshakes, hugs and Eskimo kisses.

I think its the far left holding the counts until they figure out if they can affect the outcome. Republicans saw just how far the left would go to steal an election like they did in 2020. An unexplained 15-20 million extra Democrats voting in the hand held Covid era. And look at the damage Biden-Harris did in the past three and half years. This time, with watchdogs, the Dem numbers dropped back to similar to 2012 and 2016. UnexplainablePorteroso said:
Repubs almost certainly have it.
And don't ascribe to intentional malice, what can be explained by ineptitude. You guys crow about Florida counting so fast, butthey had to be a national embarrassment before righting the ship.
I will say I don't understand this level of incompetence. But it does seem simple incompetence.
How many of those additional votes were mail in ballots though? People staying home didn't prevent voting.
I think once you account for how terror stricken people were about covid, then remember how hated Trump was, along with his refusal to agree to the peaceful transfer of power, you can see why abnormal numbers of people voted. A once in a lifetime pandemic, along with 4 straight years of Trump's backwards rhetoric, is enough to get people who normally don't care about politics, to vote.
It is not hard to find factors to explain more votes last cycle. Had 20 million votes actually been manufactured, there would be evidence, and someone would have talked by now. That is a large scale fraud operation.
"... then remember how hated Trump was, along with his refusal to agree to the peaceful transfer of power, you can see why abnormal numbers of people voted." - if this was truly their motivation, then Jan 6th and everything that has happened since then would mean they would come out even stronger. Instead, they just stayed home? Sure thing, Jan.
"... 4 straight years of Trump's backwards rhetoric, is enough to get people who normally don't care about politics, to vote." - yeah right. So because Trump calmed down his rhetoric this time around... oh wait.. he didn't! In fact, the dems have stated over and over that his rhetoric has gotten much worse. They have also ramped up the "threat to democracy" attacks... so that should have motivated this crowd to turn out even stronger.
So let's try again.... why did they stay home this time? You have given your lame excuses for why they appeared out of no where in 2020... but you have yet to explain why they all stayed away in 2024.
Bad logic. Trying to do mental gymnastics. Whatever it takes to protect the democracy denial.
Jan 6 was 4 years ago. Had another election taken place Jan 7, 2021, sure these same 20 million would have voted IMO. Again, short memory. And people are tired of 4 years of crowing about Jan 6. It has lost its bite.
Trump's rhetoric was a relative unknown coming into 2016. Nobody knew how he'd act as President. Fewer people care today than in 2020, because while it is still backwards, people have gradually come to realize it is not as bad as legacy media makes it seem.
As I said, the election was a wholesale rejection of the Biden/Harris 4 years, but also a rejection of legacy media's narrative.
Many who believed the media's narrative about Trump in 2020 simply experienced the past 4 years, and are now a lot more willing to give Trump credit for his 4 year term.
The last big factor covid, which you didn't address.
Try again, logic this time.
Once again, you fail to answer the simple question:
Why did they decide to stay home and not vote in 2024. None of what you said actually makes sense.
You comment about COVID is totally illogical. People were very afraid in 2020. There was a ton of mail-in ballots because of COVID. 4 years later, when no one is scared to go out in public... 15+ million voters suddenly decided that voting isn't a big deal? It is FAR easier to vote in 2024, but they just decided not to vote... and you have no logical answer as to why? How is it possible for someone who has never voted before, to register and then vote in 2020... and then do nothing in 2024?
Your attempts to explain the missing voters, are just pathetic.
They did not vote as much in 2024 for the same reason they did not vote in 2016, 2012, 2008, etc.
These are people who normally do not vote. You zealots were never bothered by Trump's backwards rhetoric, so you have no idea how much it was thrust to the fore in social circles that don't normally care so much what politicians say.
One last thing, then I'm done educating you for today. I don't need to defend democracy. It worked great. It doesn't need me or you to believe in it to work. Every 2 years there is a massive effort by tens of thousands of Americans to give us a secure and fair election. Virtually all of them said the election was secure and fair. Guess who the only people with an issue were? The guy who lost and a ton of lawyers who made money off the lawsuits.
Honestly it is straight up disgusting to me, how concerted the effort is to undermine democracy. You have every single case shut down, no real evidence after 4 years, lawyers who were working for Trump saying "don't sue us, we were joking," lawyers in the courtroom admitting they brought cases without any evidence, not a single person in the supposed 20 million ballot manufacturing plant peeping 1 peep.... All facts are against you, and this election your same guy wins handily... Did they forget to staff the ballot manufacturing plant? Union put a hiring freeze on?
At some point it is abundantly clear that no fact, reasoned, or logical argument will get through, for one reason. You like dear leader care more about winning than America. You are actually an enemy of democracy. And I sincerely say that to you, zealot Shooter. The founding fathers would be ashamed.
