This is based on 43 states being considered “non-negotiable” and “set in stone” while only 7 are considered “swing” states

Also consider I specified “voters”, who are at best only 2/3 of the total population, which leaves out about 100 million extra people

    Hey still progress from the Roman Republic where 0,5% of citizens had opportunity to vote and onlt 10% of those really counted.

    Oh, now i see that is the reason Usians always insist USA is a republic, not a democracy.

      and those aren’t even exclusive terms. you can have democratic republics and undemocratic republics, as long as it’s not a monarchy it’s a republic afaik

      I’m not sure “democratic” has any real content as state descriptor in the west anymore besides being a dogwhistle for (usually white) neoliberal governments dominated by markets
