2024 election results: Trump 77 million, Harris 75 million, DID NOT VOTE 90 million!!! [View all]

Given that Trump started running for the presidency the day he left office in 2021 and that today he still has that 47%, we can safely assume that his voters are locked in. They're happy with him and MAGA. So, this idea that we can somehow reach out to them and flip them is preposterous.

Instead, look at that 90 million which represents 36% of the American electorate. Let's do an analysis as to why they didn't vote and what it will take to get them to vote. Has anyone done that? Is anyone looking into that? Is Gavin putting non-voters on his podcast? No.

We need a comprehensive effort to understand the non-voter. Is it voter suppression? Is it unhappiness over policy? Is it apathy? Is it difficulty with actual voting? Put some resources into that effort for crying out loud.

Because: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND MAGA ARE ONE. WE ARE NEVER GOING TO FLIP MAGA VOTERS. NOT NOW. NOT IN THE FUTURE. NOT EVER. MAGA IS HERE TO STAY AND WILL LIVE ON LONG AFTER TRUMP.
