Woulda been nice if they all voted.

Who is this comment for exactly?

155M people voted and 75M voted for Harris. 11M is being tossed around so far for the protest numbers. I’ll let you deduce those numbers from there.

Assuming they are all from Illinois, it wouldn't have mattered. That state already voted blue. Gotta live the electoral college

It always matters. Even in IL. As a downstate Illinois resident, you wouldn't believe how many tRump signs I saw. This weekend proved to me that they're outliers. Lots of support at the protest. Lots of support from all the honking and cars driving by during it. Cheers galore for the support. A couple of louder boos for the couple of turds that tried to antagonize. It was worth it to see, if nothing else, to feel you're not alone when all hope seems grim.
