"among the 19 million people who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 but did not vote in 2024, nearly a third named Israel's U.S.-backed war on Gaza as a top reason for staying home."
29% of 19 million is 5.5 million
The popular vote margin was 2.3 million
Less than 300,000 votes across certain swing states could've changed the outcome

In response to this post@scott To oppose the Gaza genocide, those people took the risk of enabling a dictatorship in their own country. How responsible...
@antoinechambertloir
When we've been bombing other countries for decades without declaring war and thousands of people are killed by the state without trial every year, sometimes it feels like the ability to vote doesn't really matter.
If whoever you vote for will kill the same people 🤷🏽♀️
If whoever you vote for the emissions will go up 🤷🏽♀️
If whoever you vote for your healthcare will get worse and more expensive 🤷🏽♀️
If whoever you vote for FEMA will still be underfunded and the biggest polluter/carbon emission source(US military) in the world will get 20x the funding while also leaving veterans dying on American streets...
Sometimes voting doesn't really feel like it gives you much of a choice

In response to this post@scott Who commissioned this poll and what is their agenda? This strikes me as an attack on the administration and on the Harris-Walz campaign from someone with an agenda.
@AlgoCompSynth maybe you should actually find that out ~before~ you reject facts you find uncomfortable @scott

In response to this post@scott This just sounds like 1968. Same party. Same policy. Same result.

All Hubert Humphrey had to do was say he would get out of Vietnam and he couldn't do it.
We're infested with Nazis today as a result.
