minus-squaresplinter@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·9 hours agoThis a good reminder that not voting is also a political position. I think your math is a little bit off though. There were ~244 million eligible voters in 2024. 75,017,613 voted for Harris*, which gives us ~169 million that allowed this to happen. *The only other viable candidate, like it or not.
