      The only other explanation is that those 14 million Democrats DID vote, but that their votes weren’t counted due to election day farkery. But I’m not ready to go down that rabbit hole without solid proof.

        Democrats are ready and willing to do anything other then deliver the change Obama promised so many years ago.

        It’s possible, but I doubt it.

        Occam’s Razor says people stayed home because the Democrats ran a shitty centrist who tried to appeal to the nonexistent ‘moderate Republican’. The Democrats have been doing that as long as I’ve been alive.

        I want them to do a recount. Here’s solid proof:

        Trump saying people don’t even need to go vote and he didn’t need their votes to win, Trump saying he had an election day secret with Johnson, the over 50 bomb threats, Elon Musk’s bullshittery with the lottery, the ballot boxes set on fire, the numerous people reporting issues with voting, previous election interference by Russia and Russia’s ongoing war, and tbh wouldn’t it be the perfect way to start a civil war in the US by Russia, by actually stealing the election this time and letting us know a week or two later?

        So let’s recount because our planet can’t survive 4 more years of drill baby drill. Let’s just do an audit of those machines and check it all out. If the audit is fine then fine. It’s the same courtesy he got.

          those things certainly did effect the total number of voters, but there’s no evidence that any of the votes for trump were fake, or that votes for harris were specifically not counted or destroyed (enough to effect a nationwide poor performance).

          Either there was a massive, nationwide conspiracy (for which there is no compelling evidence), or Harris simply didn’t perform well.

            I think she maybe didn’t perform well, sure. That can be true. But there’s enough evidence of issues includ8ng weird shit Trump himself said, that I think we should do an audit anyway just to make sure.

              You’re getting into conspiracy theory here. Trump did better than expected everywhere. Blue states. Red States. Blue cities. Red cities. Didn’t matter. There was a shift almost everywhere. And this is across a nation that uses radically different voting machines, forms of voting, voting machine providers, etc. It doesn’t make sense that the could all be rigged so perfectly. It’s insanity.

              Yes, you can count “just in case,” but that way lies madness.
