    If you look at the voters who voted for the dem in 2020 and sat out this time it was almost all older white men

    Jill Stein won 22% of the vote in the fiercely contested city of Dearborn, Michigan, according to a projection from NBC.

    Kamala Harris won 28%, while Donald Trump won 47%, according to unofficial results from the city clerk, reported by the network.

    Metro Detroit is home to the nation’s largest concentration of Arab Americans, with a large proportion of them living in Dearborn. The city—which Democrat Joe Biden won by a 3-to-1 margin in 2020—has been roiled by political turmoil, with many upset with the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

        Third party canidates did not receive enough votes to sway anything this election.

        The biggest spike was in non-voters. Around 16M - overwhelmingly Dems - stayed home between 2020 and 2024.

        Dems were successful in scaring voters off the Green Party. Greens got 1.4M voters in 2016 and a mere 636k voters in 2024.

        But that was just a tiny slice of the overall atrophy of progressive support.

        Socialism or Barbarism… We’re making a choice
