Except for 2020 the 2024 election had the highest voter turnout so far this century. A lot of people were voting. Was it just more Trump supporters that turned up? He does have a way of stirring people up. He picks topics that make a certain type of person mad and that brings them out. Kamala could have responded by picking topics that inspired the left. Trump was offering a complete overhaul of the government and sweeping social changes (which he is delivering). Kamala was offering more of the same. I suspect he just brought out more people that otherwise wouldn't have voted.

And before you start blaming me for it, I, like most of us, don't live in a swing state. My vote literally didn't matter.

I feel you're also ignoring the huge amount of free publicity that Trump go from TikTok, Instagram and X. Kamala, or any D, would not have gotten that extra power.

Maybe dems would get more attention if they did something different from the other "party".

Are you literally implying Trump and Biden are handling the presidency the exact same way? That the Dems have been passing similar laws to the Republicans? If so, you're either ingorant, or a shill.

Learn of the vast gerrymandering that occured since the last election and understand how it swayed the vote by 3-4% as planned.
