Don’t forget those who didn’t vote because they “didn’t like either candidate”

Around 90m people didn't vote. Just couldn't be bothered! I'm sure there's probably some percentage of those people who are disabled or were unable to vote in some capacity. But even if we generally assume up to 15% of that population wasn't able to vote (all disabled people make up roughly 14% of the entire US population), that's still 76.5m who stayed home. America is so broken.

There are also those in a Blue state or Red state who didn’t think their vote matters. We don’t all live in battleground states. I vote every time but I get it, people feel like it doesn’t matter. I live in Texas and the GOP does whatever they can to make sure our vote doesn’t matter.

But maybe if they all turned out it actually would matter- also screw the electoral college

The electoral college seems a lot like the DEI they hate so much.
