The voter turnout was like 40-50%. That means over half of the country is evil tankies.

The revolution is imminent!

I might be talking out my ass actually, can't find any actual numbers, just saw some statistics before that I can't find anymore. I mean, not exactly a serious post either way lol

My standards are high and I would still like to be pandered to, thanks sweaty.

I think the "official" turnout % won't be available for some time, but I did some critical theory based back-of-napkin math for

total votes cast ÷ total US population over 18

and got

137.46 M ÷ 260M = 52.87%

I know we don't let the unhoused, felons, incarcerated, dislocated and like the generally eff'd portion of the pop vote so the legal turnout is probably higher than that, but it does put into perspective how a HUGE shitload of Americans didn't participate in this erection. c==8

My napkin estimate for the legal turnout based on yours is 137.46M ÷ 240M = 57.28%, based on estimates the 2020 eligible voter base was 233M

Votes are still being counted though, so the actual turnout may in fact be higher

Imagine making excuses as to why one should vote for genocide and still end up losing.

If Murica wasn't such a psychopathic killer, I would be laughing at the state of their political circus clown show

Liberals are outnumbered 2-to-1 by non-voters. 50% of the electorate does not vote, so if they aren't doorknocking they are not serious.
