That's the issue with the FPTP voting system, it always eventually leads to a 2-party state like the US and the majority of the population votes for someone other than the winning party.

This happens in literally every country with the same voting system as the US.

This is misleading.

According to those stats, the majority of people voted for someone other than Harris as well.

The real takeaway here is large percentage of people that don't vote.

Man if only there was some huge portion of left wing constituents demanding change over a tax funded genocide that the democratic party could have easily pandered to and gotten that extra 1% boost of votes.

But like such a group would be too small to make a difference amirite.

Both times Trump won was when a woman was running against him. The only time he lost was to a white old man.

USA is just sexist and Americans better come to terms with it rather than making up random reasons.

Maybe the women weren't qualified? Clinton ran thinking her name would be enough. Kamala ran because she/they thought anyone except Joe could win. 36% who didn't vote are the true cowards in all this mess. Now a majority of Americans will suffer for 4 years because of lazy-asses who thought that not showing up to vote was a protest move. WRONG!

~70% of the US adults either wanted trump or at least OK with him, and by extension are ok with the muskrat

Maybe it's time for the rest of the world to realize it's not "just trump" but the USA as a whole is very racist, stupid and backwards country.

Maybe the pushback against trump we see all around social media is just the small loud minority.

Maybe it's time to not consider Americans friends, and to stop supporting it as much as possible. I've started cutting off the american-made stuff I buy.
