Did it happen due to fearmongring? fear of losing the patriarchy fear of losing white supremacy fear of dying in ukraine for some reason??? (I have at least seen several strange comments that people would die from kamala harris sending soldiers to Ukraine? which seems like just a typical russian bot thing, but maybe people beilive it)
oh yea, and voter supression. It's most likely that kamala won the popular vote, but it's not like america is democratic...
Look to the french election, if it was the same first past the post two party system there, then the far-right would be in control, instead - the left wing alliance is the biggest party now.
She got stomped on the popular vote, unfortunately. The electoral college is utter shit but it's not to blame this time
The electoral college disincentivises people in safe states to vote at all, because they're told their votes don't matter. There's no way to tell how many people would have voted for Harris if everyone had believed their votes mattered.
I'm pretty sure too many Americans still think only men can lead, so yeah, that is probably it.
Sadly looking at dem votes going back to 2004. Dem votes have been consistent in 60mil ish range. Except for Biden who got way more. I dk what motivated them last time that wasn't there this time.
