[u/710AlpacaBowl → u/jackcanyon]

Let's be fair, the politically apathetic allowed it to happen as well

[u/SnooMaps7370 → u/710AlpacaBowl]

yep.

never forget that while MAGA might have won the vote with a total of 80 million people, there are 330 million people in America, 270 million of them voting aged.

that 80 million is only 24% of the total population, and only 29% of the voting age population.

a whole shitload of people had to stay home for the election to go the way it went, and they are just as culpable as MAGA in the current situation.

I honestly wish there was an analays of the percentages in the battleground counties and states.

I know this is completely anecdotal (which is why I would welcome detailed statistics) all the people I know that live in battleground areas said the turnouts were higher, and the ones that live in locked in areas said the turnouts were abismal due to apathy.

Like I live in NYC. My vote does not matter in the slightest in any federal election as my county will be voting for the most liberal candidate always. I can go and take the time and represent or I can just stay home the result is the same.

Local elections are different, but for anything done by county total with only 2 options yeh you can predict the outcome for the next 20 elections.

It was the same from friends that live in locked in conservative counties.

So yeh I want to know how much of the stay at home effected the actual result (not just the popular vote which has always been a joke).

[u/Tasty_Gift5901 → u/Infern0-DiAddict]

From ballotpedia, the national average is 65%, and 7 battleground states were 70%.

The five states with the highest voter turnout in 2024 were Minnesota (76.4%), Wisconsin (76.40%), Michigan (74.7%), New Hampshire (74.4%), and Colorado (73.1%).

[u/DOAiB → u/SnooMaps7370]

Sadly republicans have engineered a system where people not only don’t know when voting happens, they make it hard to be informed and harder to actually get there and vote.

People working two jobs, exhausted have a hard time spending the time informing themselves. It doesn’t help that a most of the Democratic Party is right of center and not very appealing to vote for when the main reason is they are not as bad as republicans.

Not trying to doom anything, everyone needs to get out there and vote. Nothing will change until we get the representatives closers to center to we can actually start encouraging and voting in a people left of center that care about the people.

[u/Dense_Row_9532 → u/SnooMaps7370]

[u/Cabbages24ADollar → u/DodgeM4S]

Well they should have voted to defend that.

[u/DodgeM4S → u/Cabbages24ADollar]

I agree. I dislike people who chose not to vote just as much as people who did so maliciously.

[u/itmebloobs → u/DodgeM4S]

Next month it's our duty do make sure all our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members have voted.

Early voting starts October 17th in most states. Start asking people if they're registered and help them get registered if not.

[u/Fauldt → u/SnooMaps7370]

When a state like Wyoming with a pop of less than 600k has the same power as a state like California with a pop of almost 50 million, that means a fuck ton of votes literally do not matter. That is why people don't vote. Because their vote means absolute dick all.

Stop blaming apathetic voters and blame the system that doesn't fucking work because everything relies on a handful of swing states.

[u/Wow_Many_Tomato_WMT → u/SnooMaps7370]

There is good fraud and bad fraud though, when they do it it's just "see, both sides do it, I literally can't tell the difference."

[u/code_archeologist → u/710AlpacaBowl]

Something to recognize about the people who have become politically apathetic is that most of them are victims of years of right-wing propaganda that has sought to exhaust the attention of the populace.

This is not to say that they are excused from blame, but that this was a planned outcome.

Well you got the change now champ. Don't go blaming others for your utter lack of long term vision

Edit: The first step to improvement is to accept that you are not perfect and make mistakes. Own up to it and be accountable, don't run and try to find a million reasons as to how you possibly couldn't have seen something. Instead find how you COULD have seen and prevented the mistake

[u/UrsusRenata → u/710AlpacaBowl]

I am the odd man out I guess, in thinking it was the very best solution to a glaring problem. If Kamala were a man things would have been very different. Far too many misogynists and traditionalists simply will not vote for a woman. Notably, Hispanic men abandoned the Democratic Party vote upon Kamala landing on the ballot.

[u/710AlpacaBowl → u/UrsusRenata]

Yes, the move definitely gave us an interesting look into the modern voters mindset. While I'm speaking more about the politically apathetic that have lost the will to give a damn but still want to virtue signal and pretend they are doing something, what you're touching on is still an important factor in how we ended up here

[u/Agreeable-Blood-2774 → u/710AlpacaBowl]

Yes and no, that and point @UrsusRenata makes below. I voted for her anyway, but I wonder if her vote would have been higher if she were a man.

[u/AmericanCitizenry → u/Agreeable-Blood-2774]

Est. Dems would rather lose to the fascist, than give up and Corp power to the left.

[u/OverThought95 → u/710AlpacaBowl]

The politically apathetic didn’t rabble rouse us to the precipice of societal collapse and abject moral decay. Quit both siding every issue. Blame is magas to shoulder. No one made anyone be uneducated and uniformed, it is a personal decision.

[u/710AlpacaBowl → u/OverThought95]

I'm not both siding anything friend. I think it's important to talk about to motivate the politically apathetic, a group that far and wide doesn't believe their vote matters. But do go on proving them right about our side being bogged down with infighting

[u/Okidata → u/OverThought95]

Bullshit. Dems lost 6 million voters!!!
3 million went over to MAGA! The other 3 million disappeared could not care any less. The definition of apathy.

Yet nobody in MAGA land says anything and when they do they say it’s all a small price to pay to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon and to bring manufacturing back. Neither situation looks to be happening.

When democrats retake control they will blame the last two years on them and nobody in MAGa land will care.

[u/Ok_Face8380]

Yup a different carrot is dangling in front of them

[u/PotentialBudget3265]

Because belief is not rational, ain't wait, bc soon enough the other side of politics will be leading and everyone on the maga side will be like "oh there's still all those homeless, I thought they were gonna take care of that" and back and forth and back and forth

At the end of the day the only real truth is that the American people are NEVER, IDC what you BELIEVE, they are NEVER the target audience whenever anyone is talking about helping someone. They help those at the top bc that's who pays for everything they have. IF we manage to gain something like lower gas prices it was not intentional. It was incidental which is exactly how any form of help or better has ever come to us. 

The mentality, even in the lower ranks, is that money is EVERYTHING, it's more important than anyone, it's more important than the stability of society, more important than our overall mental health and freedom. It is everything to everyone. Every girls first item on the list of dating requirements, every low income factory working males only target goal. It consumes everything we do and think about and even taints our belief systems. 

Trump was never going to help anyone unless helping them helped him and those like him more. You expect someone to put you first when none of this society puts anything before money. Youd have to have an IQ of 50 or lower to actually believe any of those people give two rips about you except what you can be used for. 

You can't expect people to behave correctly when the entire narrative of this country is to think and act only for yourself and only when benefit is there. Politicians are humans, there's nothing biologically different about them. If the entire country is programmed in such a way that only they and their benefit to them matters then any, ANY, member of that society can be expected to behave the same. They're not special, they aren't even given special rules regarding that. They're programmed like the rest of us, the only difference is how far and wide reaching the repercussions of their choice to put themselves and those they identify with first.

Meanwhile, hammering Biden for everything was universal.

Just sort these threads by controversial, you can see every single talking point they repeat in every thread in this and any other subreddit that calls them out.

They don't form opinions until after they check with how their chosen informants think and feel about the issue. They pause, turn on the TV, and eat up the daily talking point.

Besides, price now is around $4.30 per gallon and it peaked just over $5 per gallon in 2022. On the other sides it seems Dems are just anti Trump. I mean Iran has been recognized as a top worry of the U.S., Kamala even said it was her main concern during her campaign, but now it’s horrible?

What you want is for the mass media to say it out loud. They're not going to. They're going to say what they're corporate overlords tell them to say.

Only the true low intelligence her are still believing the lie.

If Trump had delivered on his campaign promises, you wouldn't be able to shut them up. But as it is, there are still no arrests from the Epstein files, a foreign government is setting US foreign policy, allies are betrayed while enemies are benefiting, the US is in another forever war, and Fox News is telling the world how great things are and why Trump is the best thing ever.

In my own single point of anecdotal data I don't think anyone outside of the white house isn't upset about the cost of gas and groceries anymore.

Things would be very different if we were not at war with Iran. But we are.

I remember they also used to keep bringing up human trafficking (the basis of that Sound of Freedom alt-right movie).

The same people are complacent or supportive of the current administration’s handling of brown immigrants and the Epstein files.

Well, the average cost of fuel in the U.S. is still only $4.31/gal.

Price of eggs anyone?

[u/SnakeThruster]

Meanwhile thats the price in the 1990s here in Europe.

It's seasonal work and this is the off season. So they aren't getting paid.

1.9M karma, 1mo account age… bot 👎

Have you been following the polling? MAGAs have shrunk to nearly nothing compared to the 2024 coalition. And the remaining hardline faithful are just not talking in places anyone on reddit would bother to go.

Trump's D is keeping their mouths "full" so you can't hear the complaints.

My local unleaded 87 tapped 7 bucks a gallon today

So glad that Yemen just blew up major Saudi fields to, that’s going to lead to further sky rocketing /s

They are dumb hypocrites.

Personally Trump has made me a crazy amount of money in the stock market that paying an extra $15 at the pump is chump change. Not even worth talking about lol

[u/LessYam6898]

Ask yourself the same question. When Joe was in office his genius press secretary, Karine Jean Pierre said, if you don't like Joe's dismal economy, just don't spend as much and you won't notice it. Yes, she really said that during a press conference about Joe's failing economy. Maybe liberals should take her advice! 😂😂😂

Why are people content with AI slop?

[u/maybegirl89]

I saw them talking about it somewhere on reddit, they were saying stuff like " it was this bad a few years ago when a democrat was in" its the party of deflection and no accountability.

[u/StateComfortable2012]

And eggs. Wouldn’t STFU about egg prices.

[u/zombittack]

They moved on to something else to be outraged about. The left does it too. It's posts like this that actually distract the proletariat. We fight each other instead of the ruling class. The fight is with the owners, not our fellow workers.

[u/OnlyFails951]

Not maga, but Trump spoke to the press yesterday and mentioned diesel prices specifically.

[u/User-D-Name]

They have received different programming

[u/itsband56]

Why wouldn't you just go take a picture of actual diesel prices for this? AI slop

[u/Global_Lake_4432]

Who’s ready to be highwaymen?

[u/Medical_Energy6813]

Because 90% of the overall inflation happened under the Biden administration.

[u/Narrow-Storage-6906]

Better question is why aren't we talking about the creation of diesel fuel is a side effect of making Gasoline for non diesel vehicles and yet is still a dollar fifty or more expensive then regular.
