    What feelings and emotions? Trump got 72.6 million votes so far this year. He got 74.2 in 2020. That’s 1.5 million voters right there. Biden got 81.2 million votes. Harris got 68 million votes. That’s 13 million votes difference.

    And most elections get in the 60% ±5 range voter turnout.

    So…yeah… 1/3 of the population doesn’t bother to vote.

        Afaik, everyone that’s a citizen and over the age of 18 is included. But I could be wrong.
