    The post is primarily about 2024? It just references 2016 as an example of the electoral college screwing things up. Also the left leaning vote split thing literally did happen in 2000 so like what are your goals here lol, you can make your own post yknow.

      This post is citing data from 2016? So it’s referencing something that didn’t happen. Also, Bush beat Gore by 537 votes. Sure, if Nader hadn’t run Gore would have won, but you could just as easily blame the loss on the Florida GOP, “accidently,” purging thousands of legitimate voters by, “mistaking,” them for felons, or on the Butterfly Ballot that caused an untold number of voters to select the wrong candidate. I guess my goal here lol is to point out when people are blaming their preferred candidate’s loss on a mostly statistically insignificant portion of voters, and if you don’t like hearing what other people have to say you don’t have to post yknow.
