Instead of a red mirage, we got a blue stayathomeandnotvote. Harris got 10-13M votes less than Biden in 2020, and even Trump seems to be getting less votes than the last time (counting still ongoing). I was told there would be a record turnout in this election.
Actually, 20 million votes are suspiciously unaccounted for
Source? Or are we down to republican level of accepting losing?

Lemme play devil's advocate and ask if that would really be such a bad thing if we were considering being an unhinged lunatic gets your people elected.
Yeah probably it would be a bad thing. Republicans try to mobilize the idiot vote. To get that, you can be unhinged, but you alienate the more reasonable voters, the educated city people that the dems absolutely need.
Although it would be interesting to see two unhinged parties try to fight it out to get the idiot vote. I assume Italian political culture to be something like that, all the smarter Italians I've ever spoken to seem extremely frustrated by their system.
Biden won on memes of him eating ice cream, being old, being Dark Brandon, sniffing kids, claiming people aren't black, saying that poor kids are just as smart as white kids, etc.
During a term when Trump memes stopped because they were played out. Obviously the new rule is that the first person to become a meme goes into the White House, or as Trump calls it "The Whites Only House"
If they would have run an ad of Kamela Harris as Skibidi Toilet singing Numa Numa Ney, everyone would have voted for her. But instead they had memes of JD Vance fucking a couch.
People not turning out is not the same as votes "suspiciously missing"
People did turn out though, so many states reported record turnout, yet.. this..
Did people just go to the polls, see the choices and go "Eh.. nevermind" and go home? Like millions of people?
People turned out in most swing states, they didn't in safe states
I'd believe that if they all didn't turn red
we have numbers...
6,835,903 people voted in pa in 2020 6,950,214 people votes in pa this year, and we're not done counting yet
Yess a new conspiry!
Depressed turnout has always been how Republicans win.
Yeah, except this time Democrats suppressed their own turnout
No, right-wing extremist propaganda pushed by the algorithms of youtube and tiktok suppressed the turnout.
That's a big part of it, but not all.
We've seen a global backlash against the party in power, in that context Harris refusing to distance herself from Biden absolutely contributed.
I would note that she stopped separating from Biden when she got the Cheney endorsement and swung hard to the right. That's where the campaign momentum died.
That's the thing about records: they aren't always positive/in the trajectory you are hoping for
If it had been a record low, then sure. But I don't think we broke records in that direction either.
