    Reminder that ~270 170 million Americans allowed this to happen.

      It’s more like ~170 million. That’s the population that didn’t vote for Harris (i.e., voted Trump, voted third party, or did not vote) despite being eligible to vote.

      This a good reminder that not voting is also a political position.

      I think your math is a little bit off though.

      There were ~244 million eligible voters in 2024. 75,017,613 voted for Harris*, which gives us ~169 million that allowed this to happen.

      *The only other viable candidate, like it or not.
