    That argument works when the difference is small.

    That argument doesn’t work when one option is a cataclysmic disaster

    But most importantly - when you look at what policies that Trump voters said they voted for, you could divide that into a fraction of voters voting for evil (plain stupid racists), and a large fraction voting for something positive which they had been told Trump would deliver - yet which he was objectively worse at. Most people voted Trump for the economy while told he was a great businessman, or for healthcare while told he’d make health insurance more affordable (but now he made it less), etc…

    Almost every positive impact in the last decades that his voters attributed to him was delivered by his opposition.

    This wasn’t an election lost to attrition. Your quote explains nothing about what happened.

    There was more votes than ever. It was lost to propaganda and people being idiots, not seeing through the fraud. Trump’s policies lost every poll when names were taken off. Everything he wanted to do kept being rejected. But the propaganda machine made people distrust the people who delivered all the things they said they were grateful for, and to trust the liar instead.

      Implying that a Harris/second Biden administration wouldn’t be a cataclysmic disaster

      Implying that any outcome where AmeriKKKa continues to exist and destroy our world wouldn’t be a cataclysmic disaster

        If you can not understand a difference in scale then your school years was a cataclysmic disaster

          Maybe they went to an Arkansas school, or any other american one that teaches people to only support the terrible system.

          But hey! You voted right so you can be smug and its only fair you get to point your impotent rage at those who did not vote the way you did. And next time when the two parties are both somehow worse you can once again vote for the lesser evil!
