The majority of Americans who voted, at least in the swing states, have voted for the republicans. Why? Do the republican policies reflect popular opinion? Or is it that their vibes are more aligned with the public? Or maybe people are worse off now than they were 4 years ago and are hoping to turn back time? As a non-american I don't quite get it. People must think their lives will materially improve under the republicans, but why?

    Because it's less a matter of more people voting republican and more a matter of not enough people voting Democrat.

    Why did people not vote Democrat? The party refuses to be popular, had no real policy proposals, and actively alienated key voting blocks in key swing States.

        Yeah, I think Kamala even had fewer total votes compared to Biden in 2020. People just didn't vote, because why the fuck would they??? No one was giving them a reason!
