Your original post which I commented on said this:
Which is it?
The Uncommitted Movement was ~700k strong. Even if we assume the entire voting block didn't cast ballots in 2024, meaning I don't count them in the Green Party/PSL group, the impact of that would still only be less than 1 mn, which RFK and Libertarians similarly drew for their causes. It's a rounding error whether or not they contributed to the outcome or not.
The real problem is why more people either 1) changed parties or 2) didn't vote in 2024 when they did in 2020. Perhaps COVID had an effect in 2020, perhaps tightened voting laws had an effect in 2024, perhaps Democrats have now become Republican-lite, perhaps shit just sucks and there's no time when people need to work.
It is a politician's job to think about these things and determine a strategy best suited to acquiring power. If politicians don't do that, they lose races.
They are the same thing. Your reading comprehension needs work.
Ok, here we go:
Throwing their vote away = not voting.
Refusing to vote blue != not voting
Refusing to vote blue = vote red, green, PSL, RFK, literally anything else
Are we arriving at the issue at hand finally?
Annnd classic troll move by resorting to insults instead of facts and claims at hand. How big of a waste of time you've been
Edit:
Unless you mean that both people that didn't vote nor voted blue are disgusting to you, in which case whatever. Personal sentiments can't fix hard facts. The more liberals like you cope, the more you'll lose elections.
I stated clearly at the beginning that I wasn't interested in arguing over my personal opinion. You're the one wasting your own time.
