Or at least all the candidates counted with the dataset I could find

    15million people that voted Biden last time couldn't be bothered putting in a protest vote for something.

    If Americans actually did this it would scare the fuck out of the two parties to see a third, fourth and fifth candidate with millions of votes.

    Instead they resign themselves to apathy and "it's wasted anyway". When actually getting up and doing that shit directly empowered things like the UK leaving the EU.

    If the 15million missing voters were on other parties instead of just being absent the Dems would have to reckon with "we need to be more like this third party to get those votes". But instead what we're seeing is "we need to be more like Republicans to get those votes"

    What is it with americans and simply not voting or recognising political power exists within votes outside the two parties?
