I guess that is "roughly" true.  :lol:

Less than 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump. Certainly isn't "half of America" no matter how "roughly" you look at it.

I calculate 31% eligible voters were Trump, to 34% Biden using 240m eligible voters from USA Today.  Do you imply the other 35% of eligible voters would vote independent?  Or Democrat?  Where is the support for this???  This just isn't going anywhere credulous.  Citing the 30% figure is a perversion of numbers.  [/quote]

Pew had 256m eligible voters.

If you asked (via ballot) eligible voters who they supported, <30% supported Trump. It doesn't matter who the other 70% supported. Bottom line, they didn't support Trump.

A more valid % would be looking at ALL Americans who supported Trump, but that is a more difficult # to calculate. That surely would be even lower than <30%. Think of all of the young people who detest Trump. They will be voting soon.

No matter how you try to manipulate it, "half of Americans" aren't Republican.  :lol:

Ok. . .

"If you asked (via ballot) eligible voters who they supported," 32% supported Biden.  Using your 256m eligible voter figure.   "It doesn't matter who the other 70% supported."

See how this is an argument to nowhere PP.  You've been had.  [/quote]

And finally, by same stupid logic. .

21% of voting age Virginians voted for Governor Northram (D).

[/quote]

I don't remember anyone claiming anything about the # of Ds in VA. Do you?

FAIL.

[/quote]

I know.   You are only know what you were told.  So you wouldn't remember.  You don't see the insincerity of the news piece for what it is.

It's math.  See:

1.4m voted Northram divided by 6.6m voting age Virginians = 21%.

What does that mean?   Not much really.  The whole % of eligible voters argument, either direction, is total nonsense used to twist the truth to support a narrative.

DP. The actual number is nonsense? It's just the truth. It can be used to support a narrative, like any other fact, but if you're going to talk about how much support an elected official (of whatever party) has, the number of people who decided to stay home or vote 3rd party is actually relevant.[/quote]
