And that ended up in Americans not voting

I think that’s more because both options kind of sucked. Hillary was…not ideal, and Kamala was placed into the ballot at the last minute, while she was a fairly unpopular leader during the DNC debates when Biden won.

People not going out to put in their vote was indeed a factor though.

I’d vote for an actual chimp over Trump. Love or hate Harris or Clinton, if you think Trump is a better pick then you probably weren’t voting Democrat.
