Biden received 81 million votes in 2020. Harris only 68 in 2024. She was 13 million votes short of Biden.

Trump received about 74 million votes in 2020 and 73 million (so far) in 2024.

This means that Trump kept his votes and his base. The Republicans did what they did in the last election, just a bit short of those numbers.

Harris was a whopping 13 million votes short, which is a 16% drop.

Trump didn’t win this election, the Democrats lost it because they didn’t care enough to bother to go out and vote.

For some reason Democrats didn’t vote for Harris. Did they not vote because they didn’t like her stance on Palestine? Or that she was a woman? Was that enough of a reason to put a convicted felon with a long list of offensive behaviors in office? We will all feel the effects of this decision for years, possibly decades to come. Long after I am gone, my grandchildren will be affected by the results of yesterday’s election.

Again, Trump did not win this election, but the 13 million Democrats who didn’t bother to show up lost it for all of us. I can’t reconcile this. It was not necessary. It made no sense. It should not have happened.

But it did.

And – read my lips – we will all be paying for it.
