Immigrants might be in camps, but at least you Democrat voters have your sense of moral superiority!

You have it backwards. The morons voted 3rd party.
Trump - 77,302,580 - 49.8%
Harris - 75,017,613 - 48.3%
Fun with math:
49.8 + 48.3 = 98.1.
77,302,580 + 75,017,613 = 152,320,193
152,320,193 = 98.1% of the vote.
x = 100%, solve for X.
152,320,193 * 100 / 98.1 = 155,270,329 total votes (approximately).
155,270,329 - 152,320,193 = 2,950,136 voters who failed to vote for Trump or Harris.
Flipping the popular vote would have required 2,284,968 of them to vote for Harris. 77.45%.
Even then, that's not a guarantee thanks to the Electoral College:
Trump won Pennsylvania at 50.37%. Getting all the non-Trump votes behind any single candidate would have still lost. Harris or otherwise.
Arizona? 52.22%
Nevada? 50.59%
Georgia? 50.73%
South Carolina? 58.23%
Only 2 atates could have seen a non-Trump vote flip the election to Harris:
Wisconsin - 49.60%
Michigan - 49.73%
But even if Harris won those 2, it wouldn't have been enough to flip the election.
Electoral vote:
287 (270 to win) - 251
If a 3rd party won those two, which would have been the first time a third party won ANY state since 1968, it wouldn't have been enough to flip the election.
287 - 226 - 25
