If Everyone Had Voted, Harris Still Would Have Lost
NY Times ^ | 6/27/2025 | Nate Cohen

In the wake of last November’s election, many Democrats blamed low turnout for Kamala Harris’s defeat.

It wasn’t entirely without reason, as turnout dropped in Democratic areas, but many months later it is clear the blame was misplaced. Newly available data, based on authoritative voter turnout records, suggests that if anything, President Trump would have done even better if everyone had voted.

The new data, including a new study from Pew Research released Thursday, instead offers a more dispiriting explanation for Democrats: Young, nonwhite and irregular voters defected by the millions to Mr. Trump, costing Ms. Harris both the Electoral College and the popular vote.

The findings suggest that Mr. Trump’s brand of conservative populism once again turned politics-as-usual upside down, as his gains among disengaged voters deprived Democrats of their traditional advantage with this group, who are disproportionately young and nonwhite.

The goal was to get only illegals and dead people to vote. Even the dead people knew better.

That’s why Joe Pedo’s “Illegal Alien” voter “immigration” program is so important to the RATS.

If it WALKS like a Mandate and TALKS like a Mandate and LOOKS like a Mandate, then it’s a MANDATE from, ‘We The People.’

Man, did we EVER dodge a bullet!

MAGA! :)

I just looked it up.

Harris got 6,285,500 fewer votes than Biden. President Trump received 77,284,118 votes in 2024 and 74,221,319 votes in 2020.

Biden - supposedly - got 81,284,666 votes in 2020.

So, we are suppose to believe that 6,285,500 people stayed home and did not vote in 2024. And we are also suppose to believe that the 2020 election was not stolen.

Now subtract from Harris all the non voters who voted.

HAHAHAHA. It must have killed the NYT to print this from their favorite data cruncher boy. I have to say, I am impressed by the honesty of both Nates when it comes to analyzing elections, even at the expense of making their readers mad.

The Dims own DEI manuevers cost them the “minority” voters and most of the “minorities” are working class and the Dims and their policies are “white elitist”, even their DEI policies.

candidate Trump was with people ....... making fries and handing out
food to drive ups.......even driving garbage trucks.

Harris was holding “concerts” in a blatant attempt to get
a few warm bodies to hear her at her boring campaign events.

the fiasco was she actually thought this was helping her get elected.

“It wasn’t entirely without reason, as turnout dropped in Democratic areas..” Yes, because Jay Valentine’s Fractal kept the rodents from cheating in the areas where it was used.

Kamala Harris is unelectable - except in California where I strongly suspect she will be the next governor.
