152,320,193 * 100 / 98.1 = 155,270,329 total votes (approximately).
155,270,329 - 152,320,193 = 2,950,136 voters who failed to vote for Trump or Harris.
Flipping the popular vote would have required 2,284,968 of them to vote for Harris. 77.45%.
Even then, that’s not a guarantee thanks to the Electoral College:
Trump won Pennsylvania at 50.37%. Getting all the non-Trump votes behind any single candidate would have still lost. Harris or otherwise.
Arizona? 52.22%
Nevada? 50.59%
Georgia? 50.73%
South Carolina? 58.23%
Only 2 atates could have seen a non-Trump vote flip the election to Harris:
Wisconsin - 49.60%
Michigan - 49.73%
But even if Harris won those 2, it wouldn’t have been enough to flip the election.
Electoral vote:
287 (270 to win) - 251
If a 3rd party won those two, which would have been the first time a third party won ANY state since 1968, it wouldn’t have been enough to flip the election.
I was making the joke about interpreting the line as if it were a mathematical equation. “x=100%” “solve for x” “x would be 100%” lol just playing around
It was rigged like all the elections since the 90’s. Only this time they got away with it because the chickenshits stayed home while Russia phoned in fake bomb threats. Or they decided to cling to their own moral integrity and allow Nazis in the door.
The problem here though is that we have a closed primary system with Democratic super majority. So if you want to have any say in an election, you have to register as a Democrat.
You have it backwards. The morons voted 3rd party.
Trump - 77,302,580 - 49.8%
Harris - 75,017,613 - 48.3%
Fun with math:
49.8 + 48.3 = 98.1.
77,302,580 + 75,017,613 = 152,320,193
152,320,193 = 98.1% of the vote.
x = 100%, solve for X.
152,320,193 * 100 / 98.1 = 155,270,329 total votes (approximately).
155,270,329 - 152,320,193 = 2,950,136 voters who failed to vote for Trump or Harris.

287 - 226 - 25
100%? Is that the answer?
Nope, keep reading. :)

Why bother with data when it’s irrelevant anyway.
Oh no, not moral integrity!! Lmao do you listen to yourself? Dems let Nazis in the door, to be clear

Now do the math showing how a 3rd party can win in the US. :)
1968 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_United_States_presidential_election
Electoral College:
Republican - 301, Democratic - 191, American Independent - 46.
1980 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election
Republican - 489, Democratic - 49, Independent - 0
1992 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_States_presidential_election
Democratic - 370, Republican - 168, Independent - 0
1996 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election
Democratic - 379, Republican - 159, Independent - 0
Those are the four closest.
Only one party can beat the Republicans, it’s the Democrats.
Similarily, only one party can beat the Democrats, also the Democrats. :)
It’s like you haven’t even considered manifesting
Locally, I have no problem supporting a 3rd party… though they still haven’t been able to win so much as a school board seat:

Primary - Choose the best Democratic candidate.
General - Watch the Republican get crushed.
