Huh? Do you not understand that most of the Dems went back to voting early or in person? The mail-in % decreased, while the early and in-person numbers almost certainly increased.

Mail ballots aren't my cup of tea either, but Dems were scared of the pandemic and heavily voted by mail in 2020. There was no pandemic in 2024, so there was less mail voting.

You focus on stock bets. Are these people stealing our money and placing those stock bets? No? Oh. By the level of your outrage, I would have thought they were. Where is your outrage at our elected officials in Minnesota stealing our money and giving it to Somali crooks? It’s happening in California as well. Hell, it’s all over our country. What’s funny is that you really don’t give a $h!t but you want a ”gotcha” at those in Trumps sphere (and they aren’t stealing our money). You are an insufferable TDS infected fool.
I get it. You’re cool with corruption as long as it’s your team.

Huh? So they got 81M votes in both 2020 and 2024?

Democrats are still wearing masks out of fear for Covid

The fact that you are seeking to imply that a similar number of Democrats are wearing masks today (or in 2024) as were in 2020 is ridiculous. So far from any connection to reality that it's highly indicative of a general lack of good faith argumentation.

I don't know how many votes Dems got in each election. What I do know is that far less Dems used VBM in 2024 than in 2020, because far less were concerned about Covid. Meaning Dem VBM dropped substantially, while their other numbers (Election Day voting and early voting in person) likely increased.

Trump won in 2024 largely by flipping Biden 2020 voters, particularly among the young, minorities, and those less likely to vote in non-Prez races. Some of these folks are Dems, most probably aren't (heavily independent is my guess).

MIT data. Where did the votes disappear to in 2024? How do you account for the millions and millions less in 2024? And no. Brain deficient Basement Joe didn’t excite Dems any greater than Harris.

The fact that you can't tell me Kamala received 6M fewer votes in 2024 than Biden's "81M" in 2020 is completely ridiculous AND unbelievable. You know damn well this is the case since you were an X pundit for a while.

I still see some people wearing masks and outside of Asians who were wearing them before Covid I can tell you with 99 percent certainty that these people are libs.

Trump also lost voters like you and Rill between 2020 and 2024.

Trump increased his total by 3M votes from 2020 to 2024 which likely mirrors population gains. Kamala lost 6M votes (which were never real to begin with). The popular vote total for all candidates dropped by 3.4 M.

So much fraud in 2020.

Dems could have gotten more or less votes in 2024 (they got less), but they invariably were going to see less mail ballots because Covid was over. Mail ballots in 2020 were used by a lot of people who were going back to in person voting in future elections. The % of Dems using VBM was of course going to decrease. I’d have bet everything I own on that.

I do not believe basement/ dementia Joe outperformed Obama by like 11 million votes.

He underperformed Obama, who got a higher % of the vote twice. The electorate grew because the population grew. Turnout also went up partly because Trump inspires love and hate and partly because Covid meant lots of people had more time on their hands.

If I ran around claiming Hillary won in 2016, you’d call me crazy. Because she didn’t. Tens of thousands of votes in 3-4 Democratic run states weren’t fraudulently cast, changed, or whatever lunatic theory is proposed to give Trump the win over HRC in those Dem run states. That’s the identical logic to Trump’s claims, which 6 years later still lack any proven evidence.

So, let's say you are correct that it was just electorate growth from the population.

That makes this anomaly less likely:

The population in the US grew by 9 million from 2020 to 2024.

Also, there were 168.3 million registered voters in 2020. There were 174 million registered voters in 2024.

Oddly, less people voted in 2024 than 2020.

Disgusting, we apologize to a disease infested illegal who murdered one of our students. Screw these woke colleges.


If my daughter was a student there, she would be transferring after this semester. I can’t imagine how admin came to the conclusion issuing this statement was a good idea. Disgusting filth.

Read your last statement. What was happening in 2020? Any chance people had more time on their hands and were disgusted by how the pandemic and Floyd riots were handled?

I remember a few weeks ago when uninformed TJ told me Arizona has no concerns about water. Per usual, he doesn’t know what he is talking about.

Denver has set new high records multiple times this month. Been about 30 degrees above normal.

The deals made 100 years ago do not make sense anymore. I hope the new deal reduces water for Arizona significantly. Arizona had 400k residents 100 years ago.

You ignored half of my argument. Covid literally forced people to pay attention to politics in an unprecedented way (in an era where the passion surrounding Trump both good and bad had already engaged folks more than usual). Of course more votes were cast than usual. In eras of less political engagement, less people vote. Trump and Covid generated maximal interest, meaning more votes.

Btw the more voters, the better for populist type candidates. Populists exist on both sides of the aisle; their voters tend to be the least engaged in broader affairs. But I’m confident the high turnout in 2024 benefitted Trump.

So, are you back to Global Warming is real again Rill? Squish is going to Squish. It's hard to keep up with wishy washy people like you.

Meanwhile, in Antarctica, an ALL-TIME WORLDWIDE LOW (that means COLD) temperature was just set for March. Gee, when it is hot somewhere it is also cold somewhere else.

Good luck winning the water deals. Colorado was once run by smart people too. But, now you have a freak as governor - a freak that squishy approved of not long ago.

Your streak of bad takes continues, I'm divorced, Trump won't win in 2024, it's GW, it's not GW, I knew it was the heat island effect all along, the death jab caused zero harm. Your poor wife and kids. But, hey that vote of yours for RDS in November 2024 did make an impact. 650,000 total people in the "Other" column.

Chris Martz on X: "Vostok, Antarctica bottomed out at −76.4°C (−105.5°F) sometime between 12:00 UTC yesterday and 00:00 this morning. 🇦🇶 If confirmed, this sets a new continental and worldwide record low temperature for March. 🌡️🏆 But you won't hear a peep about it in the press. https://t.co/hPHIhSeEzu" / X

And essentially the same number of Democrats voted in person. So that means 23% of Democrats who used mail-in ballots voting for basement joe, changed their mind and didn’t mail in a ballot in 2024. Where did all the mail-in ballots go? People tend to forget this study-

“Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud. “

Like your refusing to acknowledge fudging of criminal reporting NATIONWIDE for no reason other than you like being correct.

Here vote counts off by multiple millions of votes are explained away by the United States Postal Service inability to timely move envelopes or people with face masks.

Just say it, it won't hurt; The Presidential Election of 2020 that allowed a frail, dementia ridden, political hack and thief to be elected President was stolen by miscounting millions of votes.

Stable genius? 4D Chess? :ROFLMAO:
It's rather amazing really. I'm sure the helium is a byproduct of oil and gas exploration. The geniuses in our Congress of course made a law to privatize / sell-off our fantastic helium reserves in Texas. China chose to FA with rare earths, so Trump cornered the market on oil, gas, and so much more. The last many presidents have been awful - Obama and Biden reduced the USA, Clinton gave the Chi-coms rockets and WTO access. The Bushes were globalists.

Trump really has MAGA and this so very much offends the timid, weak, and commies in America.

Meanwhile, while Arizona sets records, so does Alaska.

Rill continues to make up “facts” that I said Arizona isn’t concerned about water. Hardly, Arizona has always been concerned about water which is why Arizona has awesome water rights thanks to greats in the early 20th century. Jon Kyl was a legend in recent times. Now we have weak Katie Hobbs who is ceding hard won rights.

Arizona has always been about managing water. I don’t believe we blow up dams in this state.
