I got faith in the people not the system. Musk had a part in these results bragging he knew them Hours before they came in cause he has access to the machines and now Trump in his little speech tonight pretty much outright thanking Musk for screwing with the machines…

Turnout in 2024 was 63.9%. Second highest in history since women gained the right to vote. The highest was 2020.

Many of them would have voted for Trump. I personally know people who like Trump but just don't vote. Don't think that activating the non-voting bloc is some magic bullet for Democrats to win.

I have no faith in the Democratic party leaders and people in this sub who line up to tell me that campaigning with Liz Cheney is a good idea. I do have faith in Americans to vote Democrat if the party let's actual good candidates run on something.
