    1. Those idiots didn’t know going into the election that their vote wouldn’t affect the outcome, but they did it anyway.

    2. Protest voters could conceivably include people who protested by not voting, and they most certainly affected the outcome.

      Protest voters were young people, who voted the exact same as every other election. They don’t vote.

      If you want to engage with reality and look at the data you would see that the groups that voted for Biden and not Harris were older white men/women, and older hispanic men. Most likely because of the instilled patriarchal values and machismo culture of these groups made it hard to stomach voting for a woman with the same policies as the white man they voted for.

        This is the biggest problem, yeah.

        Sad truth is that the USA just isn’t ready for a woman president. Too many misogynists (women included).
