The MAGA base is no longer needed - the useful idiots got the oligarchs what they coveted.

I agree, but how long will it take for them to figure that out? Remember, these are the same people who wear diapers in public, blow their money on scams repeatedly, & lose their shit over what type of shoes a piece of candy wears. 🤨

Never. They're too far gone. The only hope, if we survive, is reactivating a chunk of the 90 million nonvoters that the far left turned off.
That's it. Otherwise, if we do have another election, we're really done.

At first blush 90 million non-voters in 2024 may beg that question, but to date, I haven't seen the actual demographics for those people. In my personal experience, many of those people just tune out & won't be bothered until their relatively comfortable lives become uncomfortable. That's coming.

Yep. 71M D 77M R
Last I saw.
Google away. Anyway you slice it, fewer votes for D and more nonvoted lost it.

The low voter participation rate is a long-term problem, & in 2024 Harris lost. But Trump didn't get a majority, & out of all eligible voters, it was 31% that put him into office. Now it's a race between locking down autocratic rule & the backlash against his corrupt actions. There was no mandate.
