Better than our 1 out of 3 here in the US.
If we had a two party system in Germany we'd be just as fucked as the US rn but people here aren't ready to hear it.
Hmm, you could also say that fewer parties means less "protest voting".
Leading to more non voters which was the main thing that put Trump in office
Death to America then
Painfully true. The people who didn't vote in protest of Biden/Harris to allow a guy in that would do exactly what they were made at Biden for but far worse is so frustrating. I get it, they weren't perfect, but damn. Demanding your leaders be better or else we'll unleash the nazi authoritarian on ourselves is wild.
Yeah I mean he won the popular vote with less total votes than what he got in 2016 where he didn't manage to win it. It's wild. But ultimately maybe something like this was inevitable. The US government is extremely easy to dismantle compared to most others since the president holds so much power. And no president would change the system to become less powerful.
It was 1 out of 5 people who voted, so 1 out of 2 in the US. I’m sorry, but just that’s just the way things are. Voting turnout matters, but it’s not like the people that didn’t vote would’ve all voted democrat.
That's fair, I don't accept its a 50% split, no way. Nit only were there a lot that didn't turn out. There were a lot who were disenfranchised and couldn't vote at all.
