    Actually yes, a majority. Trump lost popular vote in 2016 but won it in 2024. IMO everyone eligible who stayed home is just as much complicit with Trump.

    More specifically the number of Trump voters barely increased, but the number of people who voted for Kamala was millions less than those who voted for Biden.

        Trump: 49.8% of popular vote (77,302,580 votes)

        Harris 48.3% of popular vote (75,017,613 votes)

        He won the majority, unless you’re counting spoiled ballots that accomplished fuck all against empowering dictatorship.

          The definition of majority is a percentage over 50%.

          49.8% is less than 50%

          I’m sorry if this is a difficult concept to grasp.

            77,302,580 + 75,017,613 = 152,320,193

            77,302,580 / 152,320,193 = 0.5075 = 50.075% = MAJORITY

            And thats me being generous, I honestly think every third party voter was complicit with the Trump victory. Didn’t think I’d have to show work for somebody to understand basic addition, today.
