politics

I’m anti-institutions. I think they are incompetent. Washington DC is at the top of the stack. 

Plenty of coverage of Trump.

I find mainstream liberals an easy target because they rationalize their political beliefs to an absurd level.

Whereas average conservative is honest: I’m voting for the non-liberal candidate. I don’t care about the rationale or logic.

If average liberal: I’m voting because it’s my team and I don’t care about anything else, I would have more respect. Pure tribal affiliation. Politics is to help those you like and hurt those you don’t. Very Lindy.

Wild. There is no point in life that you make decisions in a vacuum but for some reason, politics is viable.

Popular vote and massive shift right in the electorate would indicate otherwise.

Not much of a shift tbh. His vote % on eligible remained similar. Dems lost votes to non-voters and 3rd parties.

Down ballot, leftist policies won.

From NY Times, shift was not minor

NYT's data is % points, that's consistent with what I said.

Dems lost 15 million votes. Trump won only 1 million extra (which is consistent with total eligible voters)

Where are you getting that 15 million number?

Updated estimate:
Harris 76.2m votes (48.4%)
Trump 78.5m votes (49.9%)
other 2.6m votes (1.5%)

Total turnout 157.3m votes (vs 158.6m in 2020)
Trump margin +1.5%
Tipping-point state: PA (Trump +2.1%)

Updated estimate: 
Harris 75.7m votes (48.5%) 
Trump 77.9m votes (49.9%) 
other 2.6m votes (1.6%)  

Total turnout 156.1m votes (vs 158.6m in 2020) 
Trump margin +1.4% 
Tipping-point state: PA (Trump +2.0%)

I was using actual figures from a few days ago, Nate's here is an estimation (probably will be more accurate in a few days).

Also I was extrapolating the number from the # of eligible voters (244 vs 240) - 2% difference from that too.

Ultimately you're right though - I think it'll look like Harris lost 7-8m votes, not 15m
