She warned us all so many fucking times. It's a shame 27% of the population refused to listen.

Fking 1/3 American didn’t vote, is it true?

u/here4hugs 1d ago

It is mostly true but there’s more to the story.

Americans aren’t incentivized to vote & voting is not typically accessible. Election days are regular working days. Districts are gerrymandered so transportation is often not available. In districts where people do vote, lines can exceed hours in direct sunlight where actual laws prohibit water or snacks from being available.

When voting was more accessible during the pandemic via mail in voting & people having actual time off work, more people voted. Voting rights activists have been trying to bring attention to these issues for decades. Republicans keep it introducing laws to make it even more of a hassle to vote. Voting is intentionally suppressed here.

This does not even speak to the influence of social media & Fox News on voting behaviors.

It amazes me that voting day is not a paid holiday in USA. Where I come from, a tiny island in the Caribbean, voting day is considered a holiday. All businesses close so people can actually you know, go vote.

It makes more sense when you understand the republicans don't really want Americans to vote, because higher turnout typically means they lose.

I’m so sick of them. We are witnessing the mass conditioning of a people that’s been DECADES in the making.

I remember my father listening to that shit on am radio in the 90’s and now he still listens to Fox “News”.

In Australia, it's just on a Saturday. So you drop in on the way to the shops. Voting is very accessible in terms of locations you can vote (in inner and outer suburbia at least, maybe not so much regional). But a lot of people got on board with the postal vote during COVID and continue to request it and do so.

Here in Canada, your employer has to allow you time to go vote if you need it. You don't get the whole day, but you don't really need it.

“Trump Lost, Voter Suppression Won”

“Here are key numbers:

4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data. By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone. No less than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due). At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified. 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted. 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.

If the purges, challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast.

There are also the uncountable effects of the explosive growth of voter intimidation tactics including the bomb threats that closed 31 polling stations in Atlanta on Election Day.”

Some people believe there is even more nefarious parts to it. r/somethingiswrong2024

Imagine being a black person, knowing that you're just voting so things don't get worse, you take the time, look up all the issues, make your decision, plan a day you don't work, drive out and drop off you ballot a week early and fucking nazis bomb the ballot drop box.

And even if the culprit was charged, they would be instantly pardoned by the winner anyways

I always thought it was weird that there isn't some kind of tracking number system to see if your vote got processed.

I voted in absentia due to university until this past election. I have no idea if any of my votes were ever counted.

This was most likely a democrat. That party is the party of mental health patients and tampons for men. Everything trump has said and is doing now a democrat wanted to do in the 90s... just google it you dummies

On Gerry mandering; I drove past two separate voting locations before reaching mine. The first is literally on the corner of the street where I live. How was that not my district’s voting location?

u/palikona 1d ago

Yes. It’s insane.

u/dvusmnds 1d ago

Only 22% of America voted for Trump. 21% Kamala. So yeah 60% ish didn’t vote

u/satanssweatycheeks 1d ago

It was more than that.

You have to take the none voters into account and honestly they fucked us harder than trumps base.

Protest voters and none voters all will tell you “both sides” if you ask why they didn’t vote.

Which in itself shows how stupid most Americans are.

Protest voters you said you cared about the kids in Gaza. Biden got a ceasefire and Harris wanted peace.

Trump had bragged about how cheap beach front property will be in Gaza when they are all killed. And now wishes to build a resort over top those dead kids. And he is able to do this because you all didn’t vote.

It’s pathetic. America is fucked. The idiots mobilize and vote. The progressives whine that the ceasefire candidate and universal health care candidate are somehow the exact same as the fascist right.

They are who cost us the election. Don’t blame the 27 person who voted because they are in a cult. Blame the majority of Americans who didn’t vote all while the GOP is open with the fact less voter turnout helps them win.

Pretty much. At least for the people that actually could vote. Slightly more I believe.
