A few of those bullet points make the classic blunder of US election conversation, ignoring the electoral college.

For example, Democrats who realized they were not in a swing state and stayed home didn't actually make anything worse. They were using their brains. Maybe they didn't stay home, maybe they were actually going to their job and making money. So when you're looking at total national turnout, it actually doesn't tell you anything useful.

I love spreading misinformation online
