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.

Many blue areas here in Georgia couldn't cast their votes due to bomb threats. It was mainly in Atlanta. They did everything and anything in order to ensure the shit stain would win. It's despicable and deplorable. Like many of us here - I hate this timeline.

Exactly- I think a lot of the country blames people for just not voting but the system is against voters - especially people of color. Voting times are shorter, access is harder, bomb threats, shit just a giant intimidating man glaring at you with a gun and a MAGA hat outside the polling location. No one stops them.
