Voter suppresssion was a significant tie breaker. Also keep in mind that a lot of people get shafted by both parties and have given up.
I don’t blame them.
To be honest, I would be more inclined to accept this if literally every state in the country hadn’t shifted rightward, including deep blue states that not only didn’t engage in voter suppression but also aimed to expand voting rights.
California of all states stared looking competitive. There was no voter suppression going on there.
50 out of 50 states shifted to the right for one reason or another. Voter suppression has nothing to do with that.
You can either blame the voter suppression boogeyman or you can try to figure out why even deep blue states with no voter suppression started shifting rightward. Whatever makes you feel better.
Trump got less votes this time than before, the Dems lost way more, and still beat him by a pretty decent margin
What this tells you should be pretty fuckin obvious, because it’s been said loudly since before the election: the Dems ran a dog shit campaign that even their usual supporters hated. Courting the Cheney’s was a mistake
Remind me again why did you US people elected this guy?
I think the better question is why a third of Americans didn’t bother to vote against this.

So you don’t accept that voter suppression is an overall issue in other states because California is expanding voter access?
ok
