    How do you know how many people who didn’t vote did so because of protest?

    6 MILLION MORE PEOPLE voted for Biden than Harris. That’s a lot of people who just magically disappeared for reasons other than protest by your count. They weren’t just undecided swing voters, either, because Trump’s votes barely changed at all between 2020 and 2024.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncommitted_National_Movement

      Number’s more like 700k instead of 800k. There were likely more protesters not affiliated with this movement too, but this is the main organization.

      magically disappeared

      What makes you think it was magic and not a causal response to how both Biden and Harris dreadfully handled the race?
