When turnout affects the result election to election, potential voters and active voters is a meaningful distinction. It's fine not to specify, but it's just sad to get so bent out of shape over someone adding precision to a claim.
Making fun of you is getting bent out of shape? For someone whining about precision...
But also, if you're going to argue that turnout matters etc then you are implicitly suggesting those who did not vote for trump by doing so which essentially means even more living American humans of voting age and eligible to vote in the 2024 American Presidential election at least tacitly supported Donald J Trump.
Being pedantic is very different than being correct.
Edit: added in clarifications that are unnecessary for most functional adults just to make sure you don't get confused. You're welcome!

Exactly how most feel when someone rocks a "well ackchyually" on something that's self evident from context.
