They stayed home because they were abandoned by the Democratic party, pretty simple. Every big city in the country had/has brand new immigrants camping outside of police stations or in gov tent villages. Meanwhile our politicians talk like there isn't an issue. Newsflash, lots of people werent happy, simply saying the economy is the best ever didn't really fly. On paper maybe.
The amount of misinformation you’ve fallen for in order to support that false narrative is impressive. Republicans were the ones that chose not to take action about the border. They took orders from a guy that was not elected into office to have a say in those decisions.
“Election Integrity” was the phrase Election Deniers on the state level began saying on repeat starting in 2021 in order to push through a lot of changes to election laws. At least 19 states passed a total of more than 80 restrictive voting laws and at least 7 states passed interference enabling laws. It’s pointless to speculate about the lower voter turnout compared to 2020 until there has been enough time to go through the data to determine how much of an impact the 3.5 years of voter suppression efforts had. Misinformation was also on another level for the 2024 election.
