The biggest problem with the US is lack of proportional representation. Winner-takes-all elections have led to the inevitable outcome. It's also why in Europe the propagandists are trying to push for the same system whenever they can.

Except for 2020 the 2024 election had the highest voter turnout so far this century. A lot of people were voting. Was it just more Trump supporters that turned up? He does have a way of stirring people up. He picks topics that make a certain type of person mad and that brings them out. Kamala could have responded by picking topics that inspired the left. Trump was offering a complete overhaul of the government and sweeping social changes (which he is delivering). Kamala was offering more of the same. I suspect he just brought out more people that otherwise wouldn't have voted.
And before you start blaming me for it, I, like most of us, don't live in a swing state. My vote literally didn't matter.
Learn of the vast gerrymandering that occured since the last election and understand how it swayed the vote by 3-4% as planned.

God Americans are insufferable. You pillage and murder the world and blame anyone but yourselves. Why don’t you actually do something useful?
Honestly would still respect them more if they voted 3rd party over not voting.
Sadly spoiling ballots with drawings of cocks is much harder with voting machines.

Oh this again? Democratic Party: has our Neo liberalism, refusal to enact progressive policy, and backing of a genocide alienated progressive voters? Disenfranchised voter: damn it we told you a thousand times yes! Democratic Party: No it’s the voters who are wrong.
