Trump’s trade war has pushed up inflation, slashed US job gains, slowed economic growth and caused the manufacturing sector to sputter

    174m voted.

    So 77/174 = 44%

    So, about half voted for this, is correct.

      That’s an abysmal low turnout of 64.1%, first-past-the-post screwed America once again.

      You didn’t say voters, you said Americans. You are trying to say something about all Americans, it seems.

      I will ask again: where are you moving the goalposts to next?

      Edit: for clarity on why I am responding: a very small percentage of Americans wanted this. Our electoral system is shit. When you say a large percentage of Americans wanted this you are not only incorrect, but you are giving a mandate to a man who doesn’t have one.

        I didn’t say anything to you previously about this topic. YOU SAID

        There are over 300M Americans. How many voted for this?

        I answered your question and corrected your math. How many VOTED for this.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
