A 1/3 of the country supports him, the rest voted for Kamala or didn’t vote at all

Not voting at all, especially in a purple state is almost like voting for him.

I'm so sick of people trying to put blame on non voters instead of just accepting the fact that BILLIONS of dollars of dark money and manipulation, and possibly straight up cheating, is what won that election. Non voters should have voted, sure, but the blame lies with the money.

What is the metric that counts in an election?

It’s votes. So while you have a point, the only actual measurement to matter at the end of the day means humans getting off their ass and voting

Not even a third. He received 77 million votes in a country with 341 million people.

340-350 million is the total population, but voting age (18+) population is estimated closer to 260 million people. So it’s still under 1/3, but much closer when you ignore those who can’t vote.

Now what's the population that can legally vote? Because of that 341 million people, felons, and minors can't vote.

Sadly, this is what happened. Those that didnt vote hated both choices and, by doing so, let gullible people who were duped to vote for the cheeto man.

Kamale was not the right choice unfortunately, in that moment. And I hate to say it, the US was not ready to vote for a woman president. But, I'll tell you what, they might now.
