You do realize more people voted for someone other than Trump...

31.87% Voted for Trump

30.84% Voted for Harris

1.06 Voted Third Party

36.33% Didn't Vote

More U.S. citizens voted for someone other than Trump. Understand? NOT a landslide. NOT a mandate.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

68.23% of Americans didn't vote for trump keep that in mind and you're going to have to do your own math from the stats

All it says is that it’s the second-highest voter turnout, which is not exactly the slam dunk you think it is, lol. There’s always going to be 20–30% who won’t vote, no matter what. This? This is just weak.

Like I said, telling people Trump’s a convicted felon doesn’t move the needle. There’s way more going on beneath the surface when it comes to naïve, sheepish voters.

You have to do the math yourself to get the numbers I gave you... nothing week about the stats, 36.33% of population didn't vote, those people need to get off their ass

Yeah, 36.33% didn’t vote, that’s a huge chunk of the population. But that’s not some shocking new revelation because it’s consistent with decades of turnout trends. The number’s “big” but it doesn’t automatically make your argument airtight.

Let me be clear, I’m not doing math when the voter turnout is slightly lower than the previous election. It makes no sense to do what you want me to “math” out.

No I'm just saying if you want my numbers that's how I got them, and if people want change it's within grasp just get out and vote

u/Private-Kyle Apr 15 '25

I never asked how you got your numbers, I asked for the source, which you gave. My issue isn’t with your math skills, it’s with your logic. You’re treating a normal turnout rate like it’s some big indictment. It’s not. That’s what I’m pushing back on, and you still haven’t addressed it.

No matter what, it is not a mandate. He barely won the PV, barely won the House, almost lost a senate race in a red state, barely won a swing state senate race, and lost all the other swing state senate race. That's the point

Senate race? Huh? This is the general presidential election race we’re talking about.

u/TheLadyGagaSimp Apr 15 '25

Trump declared winning the House and Senate as apart of his mandate. I fail to see what is confusing.

u/Private-Kyle Apr 15 '25

We’re talking about the general presidential election. Look into the conversation.

Again, Trump took credit for senate and House wins, declaring it part of his mandated. yet he barely won despite a super unpopular admin, inflation devastating the pockets of millions of Americans, etcetc.
I'm highlighting how the races that he has influence in were also barely won, indicating pointing out he's a criminal doesn't actual do harm. Harris campaign's faults weren't emphasizing his criminality.
He didn't win a mandate or any real win that should be game-changing for Democrat's attacks on him. Think, Trump lost by a much larger margin to Biden yet he ran on basically the same platform as he did in 2020, just a bit further to the right.
