It's good, but I really wonder where all those people were during the last election.
I mean, a few million nationwide is high numbers to get for a protest, but not for a presidential election, with the size of the US anyway. I'd bet most of them probably voted. It's the more politically engaged segment of a population that one would expect to show up to a protest, after all.
So they are just a loud minority?
It's all just loud minorities everywhere all the time. That doesn't remove the legitimacy of any of them.
What makes you think the "loud minority" wasn't the people who voted for Trump in the first place?
OH, I’m NoT ReaLly a PoLiTiCAL PeRSon aCTualLy
With the way the U.S. electoral system is set up, the vast majority likely voted but did not live in one of the critical swing states, so their vote didn't matter.
About 90 million: ‘My vote doesn’t matter’
e: bad %. It was actually much higher
Somewhere around 4-5 million Americans can’t vote even if they wanted to due to previous felony convictions.
The votes don’t matter in the majority of states.
In many of those states, if a fraction of the percentage that doesn’t vote did, it would matter. The numbers that’s based on (marginal percentages of known, reliable voters) mean the opposition party can’t unseat them, but in many cases, the doesn’t vote percentage absolutely can. Unfortunately a majority of eligible voters in those areas don’t vote for a variety of reasons, and that’s exactly why some people spend stupid amounts of money convincing you there’s no point in voting.
That works only on a hypothetical situation with no feedback loop. For example, whenever Texas is becoming competitive, Republicans invest more in turnout and they avoid the upset.
I was there and voted my dick off to keep this asshole out of office

That one is your mom’s. She too voted her dick off.

And if I voted for one then you voted for a even bigger one.
