Yes, we have a disenfranchisement problem in the US. Between voter rolls being purged, people losing their right to vote due to felonies, gerrymandering out the ass, voter ID and other such nonsense trying to stop legal votes, and purposeful locking down/ limiting of voting places, it's honestly impressive so many were still able to vote. Doesn't change that what you said was wrong.

And it's 188 million, unless you think a vote for Harris wasn't voting against Trump.

It’s less than that, even. People under 18 are included in the total population numbers, but aren’t eligible to vote yet, so you need to knock around a third (maybe more?) of your total off just for that.

Used the same process for both, so that's already accounted for. Both are total population vs those that voted for the regime.

I miscalculated, whoopsie

I stated "voters", not "Americans". I specifically used those words, because I didn't care to calculate the non-voters in to the equation at the time.

I'm not here to argue semantics....
