The answer to how Trump has succeeded is really simple: He lies nonstop, and lying works. Sure, there are other factors in play—he tapped into and intensified a certain strain of profound proletarian resentment of liberal elites, and … well, that’s about it. But mostly, it’s the lies.
…And, to reiterate, Trump tells many such lies a day. He talks to the press two or three times a day most days, which probably adds up to what, 45 minutes, an hour? Spitballing it at one lie every two minutes, which may well be low, that’s around 25 factual lies a day.
No it isn’t. what a ridiculous concept. Then everyone who didn’t vote voted for Harris, and therefore the country voted for Harris.
Buddy, keep jerkin’ yourself off with that if it makes you feel better. I can tell you’ve looked at zero polls and voting numbers because you’re just making shit up.
A non-vote is still a vote.
That’s how democracy works.
You are so close to getting it.
By not voting they are saying that either option works for them.
I’ll try and frame this differently for you.
If you’re at work and the bosses come up to your department or whatever. And say “we are organising a meal out for everyone, we’ll let you guys vote and decide”
It doesn’t matter what voting system, how many options, or how many votes a person gets. Not voting still counts.
During discussions to decide on the short list. Non-participation counts.
If it comes down to two choices. Pizza or Chinese, if you are ok with either option, and neither draws you better than the other. Then you would vote for neither.
You ever see voting results for bringing laws in. Those in favour are counted, those against are counted, and those abstained are counted.
Because a non-vote is still a vote.
Genuinely have no clue what you’re on about here. But I guess you’re insinuating something, something way off base. But Trump won the popular vote, of everyone who voted. The majority picked trump.
If the majority of people were against trump, he wouldn’t have won the popular vote. They would have gone out to vote.
