Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now (sh.itjust.works)

Millions of people stayed home. I really doubt Gaza was the reason for all of them.

Urgh, even now before the votes are all in (this will take weeks to finalize) this election was the second biggest turnout since 1932. I hate living in this "post truth" world where everyone just goes off of feelings and emotions. People turned up, for trump.

What feelings and emotions? Trump got 72.6 million votes so far this year. He got 74.2 in 2020. That's 1.5 million voters right there. Biden got 81.2 million votes. Harris got 68 million votes. That's 13 million votes difference.

And most elections get in the 60% +-5 range voter turnout.

So...yeah... 1/3 of the population doesn't bother to vote.

Do you know if they include disenfranchised voters in the possible voter category?

Afaik, everyone that's a citizen and over the age of 18 is included. But I could be wrong.
