Well then you need to work on your critical thinking skills, it’s pretty obvious. The election wasn’t lost because people stayed home. If more people had voted, Trump would have one even more. Kamala didn’t lose because progressives stayed home. She lost because she abandoned enough policies that support the working and middle class that many of these voters voted for Trump instead. The online progressives that centrists love to blame thing on held their nose and voted for Kamala anyway, as unlike liberals, progressives will actually vote blue no matter who.
Again, the article does not support your assertion. It seems you have been led on by the suggestion presented in the article. If you consider the statistics the author presented without that suggestion, you’ll realize they’re fairly unrelated data points that add up to… several interesting, but unrelated data points.
Furthermore, it’s a nation wide data set, right? So how does that break down along state lines? For example, did enough people stay home in Michigan to affect the outcome of Michigan? We don’t know based on the data presented in the article.
Now, would you like to discuss my critical thinking skills? If you have more data I’d be happy to consider it.
Remember, no matter how beautiful, morally righteous, or gratifying your strategy is, you should really look at the results
You’re right. And the results show that the idea that the election was lost because progressives stayed home is a complete historical myth.
