    No, Trump won it. He got votes and those votes were from people who cast them. Yes, democratic party has problems, but the far bigger problem is that enough people voted for Trump when given other options.

      About 16 million more people voted for Biden in 2020 than voted for Harris in 2024. The Democrats found a way to take 16 million people who cared enough to vote last time and get them not to vote this time.

      Shit, Trump lost 2 million voters from 2020, too. This should have been a layup.

      Trump won the election because he won the election is a tautological argument. It’s not false, but it elucidates nothing.

      It’s wild to me how many excuses people are willing to make for the tens of millions of Americans that actively choose Trump.
