i am seeing what i know for certain to be absolutely garbage analysis of this election, writ large on the internet.

my take is that it's a redo of trump's voter suppression tactics from 2016--i.e. people who would have otherwise turned out for harris did not.

presumably because they had unwittingly seen some trump propaganda against harris.

honestly, the fact that trump got convicted before the election probably was intended to destroy him. apart from the fact that it was somehow conveniently forgotten that all press is good press.

i dunno look at the fall of the roman empire. before julius caesar there was general sulla in his own civil war. sulla and caesar both hated the plebians but were populists for the disenfranchised in their own uniquely tyrannical way.

it is my considered opinion that the solution to the problem, if it is given that the USA should solve its problems by voting, is to make voting compulsory, as it is here in australia.

americans seem resolute never to be forced to vote, so many who otherwise would have voted for harris did not.
