    or refused to vote blue over genocide

    In 2024, 155mn people voted, while 88mn didn’t out of the entire 243 mn eligible voting population.

    Of that, 77 mn voted R, 75 mn voted D, and 3 mn voted 3rd party.

    In 2020, 158 mn people voted, while 79 mn didn’t out of the entire 238 mn eligible voting population.

    Of that, 81 mn voted D, 74 mn voted R, and 3 mn voted 3rd party.

    Your claim is that the Uncommitted Movement had an impact in 2024 on the outcome of the election.

    Wikipedia says that the movement got 700k votes. If we look to Ballotpedia, the Green Party received ~860k while the PSL received ~165k, meaning we can pretty much say those two parties captured the Uncommitted Movement’s voting block. That’s a total ~1 mn voters.

    But JFK received ~760k votes in 2024 because he didn’t file to leave the election before endorsing Trump. And the Libertarians which I doubt have any affiliation with the Uncommitted Movement received ~650k. That’s a total ~1.4 mn voters.

    The 3rd party vote didn’t make or break this election. You can see that in how many people voted 3rd party in 2024 compared to 2020 despite the voting population increasing.

    No, I reject your claim. The Democrats lost 6 mn voters in 2024, and failed to capture the eligible voting population. This wasn’t the fault of people who give a shit about genocide.

    Keep telling yourself that though while the Do Nothing Democrats roll over at every chance they get to aid and abet our fascist regime.
